Standardised electronic algorithms for monitoring prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting

Introduction Despite comprehensive guidelines with high-grade evidence, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a frequent problem in anaesthesia care. Anaesthesia information management systems (AIMS) may aid clinicians in PONV prevention, but their benefit is critically dependent on the d...
