Effect of Liberal and Restrictive Fluids on Nausea-vomiting

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and disturbing side effect of anesthesia and surgery, and while its incidence in all surgical procedures varies between 20-77% if antiemetic prophylaxis is not applied, this rate is even higher in people prone to vomiting, such as cyclic vomiting syndrome . Its incidence varies between 53 - 72%, especially in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery, if antiemetic prophylaxis is not administered.

Since most existing antiemetics are expensive and cannot completely eliminate PONV, pharmacological PONV prophylaxis may not be cost-effective. For this reason, the incidence of PONV can be reduced by increasing the amount of inexpensive fluid used during surgery instead of prophylactic drug treatment. There are several studies investigating the effect of different perioperative fluid administration schemes on PONV in the adult population, especially in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy or gynecological surgery, with variable results.

Based on this point, the inestigetors wanted to examine the effect of perioperative liberal and restrictive fluid treatments on PONV in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
