Evidence-based interventions for post discharge nausea and vomiting: a review of the literature.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) continue to be a problem for one third of all patients who require surgery and anesthesia. Very few studies have been reported that specifically target PDNV in the outpatient surgery population for interventions after discharge home. Twenty studies were identified that specifically addressed the effect of an intervention for the purpose of preventing PDNV or rescuing the patient who develops PDNV. This article presents an integrative review of the research literature to determine the best evidence for prevention of PDNV in adults or for the rescue of patients who suffer from PDNV.

The evolution of nurse-monitored sedation.

The practice of nurse-administered sedation has evolved over the past decade. As the use of sedation increased and adverse events were reported, the need for guidelines to benefit patient safety became crucial. Guidelines have been issued from nursing organizations, medical organizations, and accrediting agencies that have the patient's safety as a priority. This article looks at the history of sedation and discusses how practice issues have evolved to the present day.
