The Use of an Anesthesia Information Management System for Prediction of Antiemetic Rescue Treatment at the Postanesthesia Care Unit

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate predictors for postoperative nausea and vomiting by using online anesthesia records. With the help of computerized data evaluation, 7 of 34 variables could be detected as risk factors. By implementing an automatic score into the record keeping system, an individual risk calculation could be made possible.
