Predictive value of preoperative ultrasonographic measurement of gastric morphology for the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting among patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pre-operative prediction of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is primarily based on the patient's medical history. The predictive value of gastric morphological parameters observed on ultrasonography has not been comprehensively assessed.

Methods

A prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the pre-operative ultrasonographic measurement of gastric morphology for predicting PONV. The gastric antrum of the participants was assessed using ultrasound before anesthesia, and the occurrence of PONV in the first 6 hours and during the 6-24 hours after surgery was reported. The main indicators included the thickness of the muscularis propria (TMP) and the cross-sectional area of the inner side of the muscularis propria (CSA-ISMP). These were recorded
