Postoperative Vomiting and Nausea after ENT Surgery are Reduced by Gastric Decompression

John Murdoch

During oral and nasal surgery, the stomach receives passive blood flow. Postoperative nausea and vomiting could result from it (PONV). In ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery, we looked into the connection between gastric decompression (GD) and the severity of PONV. The study included 137 participants who had had ENT surgery.Patients in Group I received GD following surgery prior to extubation, but those in Group II did not. The number and percentage of patients displaying PONV were found to be considerably higher in Group II compared to Group I in the second, fourth, eighth, and twelfth postoperative hours.PONV in Group II was likewise noticeably more severe than in Group I. When compared to individuals who aspired less than 10 mL of stomach content in Group I, those who aspired more than 10 mL had a PONV ratio in the second hour that was much higher. There is no statistically significant difference between the stomach content aspirated and PONV ratio in the fourth, eighth, or twenty-fourth hours. In ENT surgery, GD lessens the frequency and severity of PONV.
