Low Pressure (8 mmHg) Pneumoperitoneum does not Reduce the Incidence and Severity of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) following Gynecologic Laparoscopy

Abstract

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is distressing complication of anesthesia and surgery, with a relatively high incidence in women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate occurrence and severity of PONV of low pressure (LP [8 mmHg]) in comparison to standard pressure (SP [13 mmHg]) pneumoperitoneum.
