ResumenLas nauseas y vómitos postoperatorios no han recibido el suficiente interés hasta la fecha. Se han considerado molestias inherentes e inevitables tras muchas intervenciones quirúrgicas. Sin embargo, esta desagradable complicación tiene un manejo que puede resultar eficaz. Para ello hay que valorar adecuadamente el riesgo y actuar en consecuencia. Existe una amplia variedad de opciones profilácticas disponibles relacionadas con la técnica anestésica, además del oportuno tratamiento antiemético. En este artículo se revisan los factores de riesgo y se efectúan una serie de recomendaciones operatorias y postoperatorias.

There still appears to be insufficient interest in the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting. They are considered as inherent and inevitable discomforts after surgical operation. However, this disagreeable complication can be effectively managed. To do this, the risk must be suitably assessed and acted on accordingly. There are a wide variety of prophylactic options available associated with the anaesthetic technique, as well as appropriate anti-emetic treatment. In this article, the risk factors are reviewed and series of operative and postoperative recommendations are made.
