Resumo
Introducción: A pesar de los adelantos en la anestesiología actual, aún continúan presentándose
náuseas y vómito en el postoperatorio (NVPO) como una de las complicaciones
más frecuentes con una incidencia que oscila entre el 4,6 % y el 49,0 %. Objetivos:
Describir la incidencia de náuseas y vómitos en el postoperatorio, e identificar posibles
factores de riesgo y el tratamiento utilizado. Material y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio
observacional, para lo cual se recolectó información de 1191 pacientes mayores de 15
años de edad, programados para procedimientos electivos. Resultados: La incidencia
de NVPO encontrada fue del 8,1 %, (7,8 % para náuseas y 3,6 % para vómito) y su
presentación se relacionó especialmente con el sexo femenino, cirugía laparoscópica y
tiempo de anestesia mayor de 180 minutos.
