BackgroundA traditional general anesthesia plan with volatile agents (GAVA) and opioids is certainly favorable for specific line-item budgets of the anesthesia department and the hospital pharmacy, but this technique is fraught with “downstream” expenses for the hospital and carries with it a potential for patient dissatisfaction. It has been well-documented that GA techniques that exclusively use propofol for induction and maintenance, or as an intravenous sedative combined with regional anesthesia (RA), has a significantly lower postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) rate than do GAVA techniques, 1-3 because volatile agents and opioids are considered to be the leading causes of PONV. 4 Exclusive use of propofol instead of volatile agents is considered to provide an important but incomplete method of prevention of PONV. 4 In 1 study, 3 antiemetics, each having a different mechanism of action, are required to produce equivalent PONV outcomes in patients undergoing GAVA versus those undergoing propofol total intravenous technique. 5 RA techniques without GA are historically considered to be protective against PONV, 6 but recent research has indicated that there can be significant differences in the incidence of PONV when different RA techniques are compared for the same type of surgical procedure. 7 In fact, inpatients who are undergoing single-injection peripheral nerve block techniques who are later prescribed patient-controlled intravenous analgesic (PCIVA) devices with opioids do not appear to have any significant benefit of antiemetic prophylaxis versus similar patients undergoing GAVA with PCIVA devices. 6 In contrast, inpatients receiving sustained analgesia primarily with continuous peripheral nerve blocks are conferred additional PONV prevention benefits. 6
