POSTOPERATIVE/POST DISCHARGE NAUSEA & VOMITING IN A MULTISPECIALTY AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER JUDY LONG MSN, RN, CCRN, CNRN, CPAN, CAPA
2
OBJECTIVES Learner will be able to list risk factors for PONV/PDNV in patients having procedures requiring anesthesia. Learner will be able to discuss study design, data points, and collection strategies Learner will be able to identify outcomes identified through analysis of data Learner will be able to list lessons learned from process
3
DISCLOSURES I have no conflict of interest disclosures.
4
DEFINITIONS PONV N&V that occurs within the first 24 hours following surgery Early: 2-6 hours after surgery ( in PACU) Late: 6-24 hour period Delayed: Occurs beyond 24 hours in inpatient setting PDNV N&V that occurs after discharge Occurs beyond the initial 24 hours after D/C
5
DEFINITIONS CONT. Prophylaxis Treatment Multispecialty ASC Single Specialty ASC
6
INCIDENCE 71 million surgical procedures performed in US annually 31 million of these procedures are ambulatory 20 – 30% of patients having surgery will experience PONV (14,000,000 - 21,000,000) May be as high as 70% in high risk patients
7
WHY DO WE CARE? Adverse effects of PONV range from patient discomfort to post-operative morbidity Increased cost Patients fear nausea & vomiting more than post-op pain
8
ADULT PONV RISK FACTORS Female Non-smoker <50 years old History of PONV or motion sickness General vs regional anesthesia Use of volatile anesthetics and nitrous Duration of anesthesia Postoperative opioids Type of surgery PATIENT FACTORSSURGERY FACTORS
9
PEDIATRIC PONV RISK FACTORS Surgery >/= 30 minutes Age >/= 3 History of PONV or history of PONV in relative Strabismus surgery
10
CONSENSUS GUIDELINE Published January, 2014 by Tong, et al Review and revision of previous guidelines published in 2003 & 2007 Comprehensive review of hundreds of published articles on PONV since 2007 Includes risk factors, prevention strategies, covers both adult & pediatric patients
11
HISTORY OF STUDY Joint effort between management and staff of Glasgow Ambulatory Surgery Center and Anesthesia Services PA Goals: Identify rate of PONV/PDNV in patients having anesthesia at Glasgow Ambulatory Surgery Center Identify practice patterns related to PONV prevention Improve patient experience and quality of patient care provided
12
STUDY DESIGN Identify risk factors for PONV/PDNV Identify prophylaxis patterns Identify incidence of PONV/PDNV Share information with staff
13
DATA COLLECTION PROCESS Risk factors documented in Pre-anesthesia Evaluation Anesthesia providers document care provided on anesthesia record Data collected via chart review Post-op incidence documented on data collection tool by PACU RN(s) Post discharge incidence documented on data collection tool by RN as reported by patient during post-discharge phone call
14
PROCESS CONT. Case and patient information downloaded from anesthesia billing system Data collection tool collected and entered by ASPA staff into Excel Data from tool combined with chart review data Analysis completed Reports generated and provided to Glasgow Ambulatory Surgery Center staff monthly

FINDINGS Case mix Study compliance PONV/PDNV incidence PONV 3% Prophylaxis patterns Impact of clear liquid initiation on PONV
