Coming soonPrevention of nausea and vomiting refers to the prophylactic inhibition of the emetic reflex before the onset of the subjective sensation of wanting to vomit (nausea) and the forceful retrograde expulsion of gastroduodenal contents (vomiting).
This clinical state involves complex neurohumoral interactions across the gastrointestinal tract, the central nervous system—specifically the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata and the chemoreceptor trigger zone—and the vestibular apparatus.
It is indicated across diverse adult and pediatric populations facing emetogenic triggers, most notably cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgical interventions requiring general anesthesia, radiation therapy, or motion sickness.
Prophylaxis aims to prevent the downstream complications of active emesis, including fluid and electrolyte depletion, metabolic alkalosis, esophageal injury, and pulmonary aspiration.
