ABSTRACT

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and undiserable complication for anesthesiologists for all the adverse effects on patients health and comfort. Although today are a great variety of pharmacologic products for PONV the incident of this complications is still high. Methodology: A population of 300 patientes with high risks for PONV was divides in three groups: in the first one 4 mg of dexametasone was administrated during the anesthesia induction, the second group acupuncture in the «Nei Guan» point was administrated during 30 minutes and in the third group a combination of dexametasone and acupuncture was administrated. Conclusions: We found a decrease in the percentage of PONV in the group we administrated dexametasona and acupuntures versus the group were dexametasone alone was used (7% vs 25%) with statistical significance, proven that this combination is cost-effective.
