How is postoperative nausea and vomiting managed in children?

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication in children. It can be managed through a combination of preventive measures and treatment options. Preoperative administration of antiemetic medications such as ondansetron can reduce the incidence of PONV. Additionally, ensuring adequate hydration and using anesthesia techniques that minimize the risk of nausea can help manage this complication.
