Prevention and management of postoperative nausea and vomiting: a look at complementary techniques

Myrna E Mamaril et al. J Perianesth Nurs. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Complementary modalities, used alone or in combination with pharmacologic therapies, play an important role in the prevention and management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and post discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV). This article will review the evidence for the effective use of complementary modalities: acupuncture and related techniques, aromatherapy, and music therapy that may be integrated in the perianesthesia nurse's plan of care to prevent or manage PONV.
