PONV

Toolkit

Offers education materials to tailor for your site’s needs in communicating the evidence and recommendations for managing postoperative nausea and vomiting

Introduction

The PONV Toolkit provides additional information and materials to inform providers of the incidence, impact, pathophysiology, risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Some quality champions may wish to feature the Overview presentation at the department meeting to provide some context for PONV and then share prophylaxis or treatment recommendations at a second meeting. Other site champions may take portions of each of the three presentations to create a comprehensive overview of the topic. All presentations are downloadable as Power Point presentations and can be modified to meet your site educational needs.

The PONV reference guide is a one-page tool to either be disseminated as a summary of the literature in an email attachment or printed and posted in a breakroom.

The PONV toolkit focuses on the surgical adult population at this time. Supplemental materials will be added over time to address the pediatric and obstetric populations.
