Lunch and Learn: Post Operative Nausea & Vomiting

Our Lunch and Learn series focuses on providing you with snappy updates on patient care and skills based topics.  Live sessions are delivered free, with on demand access available as part of Medcast Plus.

This 30 minute on demand session covers Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) including risk factors, strategies to reduce the risk, prophylaxis and rescue treatment. During the session, we review a case study to identify their preoperative risk, impact of anaesthetic agent, role of pain management, and treatment of PONV.

Enrolment in this learning gives you access to the current Australian PONV guidelines for adult and paediatric patients

This course will interest you if you are interested in understanding what predisposes some patients to Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV), how you can mitigate those risks, and what rescue treatment to use to treat PONV.
