We tested a hypothesis that an aggressive prophylactic intervention with additional antiemetic drugs will reduce the incidence of PONV in a high-risk pediatric population undergoing adenotonsillectomy.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>In this retrospective study, pediatric patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy were screened for their risk factors for PONV. Patients who had 3 or more risk factors were identified as high risk and received either scopolamine patch preoperatively (for patients over 40 kg body weight) or diphenhydramine immediately postextubation in addition to ondansetron and dexamethasone, which are given routinely. Incidences of PONV within the first 60 minutes of a postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay were collected and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Overall postoperative vomiting rates during the first hour of a PACU stay were 4.3% for the group that was treated with dexamethasone and ondansetron only and 3.9% for the group that was treated with additional antiemetic drugs. Aggressive prophylactic management of PONV did reduce the rate of nausea and vomiting in a group of high-risk patients (p &lt; 0.0001). The postoperative antiemetic drug usage was also decreased during the first 60 minutes of a PACU stay. However, the approach did not reduce the overall rate of PONV for the entire study population (p = 0.1612 for nausea and p = 0.0678 for vomiting).<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Aggressive intraoperative management of PONV with additional antiemetic drugs are beneficial in high-risk pediatric population. Intraoperative diphenhydramine usage decreased the rate of PONV. However, preoperative scopolamine patch prevention did not improve PONV, which may be related to the drug's longer onset of action. Our result suggests that current clinical practice is undertreating PONV in pediatric patients receiving general anesthesia.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5863\/1551-6776-25.4.303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T20:51:05Z","timestamp":1589835065000},"page":"303-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aggressive Prophylactic Treatments for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Improve Outcomes in Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Procedure"],"prefix":"10.5863","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Tatyana","family":"Demidovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orlando","family":"Perez-Franco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Silvestrini-Suarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pin","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3883","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"i1551-6776-25-4-303-b1","series-title":"Curr Opin Anaesthesiol","first-page":"668","article-title":"Assessing the value of risk indices of postoperative nausea and vomiting in ambulatory surgical patients","volume":"29","year":"2016","unstructured":"Geralemou\n              S\n            , GanTJ.\n          Assessing the value of risk indices of postoperative nausea and vomiting in ambulatory surgical patients.
