• PONV incidence in surgical patients is 30–80%, and gynaecological patients are a particularly high-risk group due to female sex, laparoscopic procedures, and non-smoker status. — Enhanced recovery after surgery in elective benign general gynaecological surgery: postoperative recovery outcomes and health economic value of hospitalisation costs under China’s diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system – a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital
• Preventing PONV shortens postoperative recovery and was identified as one of four statistically significant independent predictors of recovery duration. — Enhanced recovery after surgery in elective benign general gynaecological surgery: postoperative recovery outcomes and health economic value of hospitalisation costs under China’s diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system – a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital
• Prophylactic antiemetic use during surgery is recommended for all abdominal surgery patients. — Enhanced recovery after surgery in elective benign general gynaecological surgery: postoperative recovery outcomes and health economic value of hospitalisation costs under China’s diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system – a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital
• PONV prevention is both a cost-increasing ERAS measure and the measure with the most impact on recovery speed, with the smallest cost increase among the five cost-increasing measures. — Enhanced recovery after surgery in elective benign general gynaecological surgery: postoperative recovery outcomes and health economic value of hospitalisation costs under China’s diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system – a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital
