Key Words Postoperative nausea and vomiting; Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; Dexmedetomidine; Apfel score; Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching
Core Tip In this prospective cohort study of 1054 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remained highly prevalent despite multimodal prophylaxis, affecting 76.3% of patients. Using the validated Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching, we found that intraoperative dexmedetomidine was associated with lower odds of PONV, whereas Apfel scores of 3-4 were associated with a substantially increased risk even with guideline-based prevention. These findings suggest a potential benefit of dexmedetomidine in this setting, although randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm causality. More effective antiemetic strategies, including additional pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, may be warranted for patients at high risk of PONV after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
