Sickness after anesthesia?
Nausea and vomiting (N/V) are not common after general anesthesia. In our practice, it's about 2-4%. However, N/V can be results of a number of causes (fear, anxiety, hunger, nature of your surgery (type and location), side effects from medications (not limited to narcotics), low blood count, dehydration,...etc. However, certain surgeries and medications do tend to have higher incidence of N/V (intracranial, ENT, and intraabdominal surgeries, narcotics and muscle relaxant reversals). If you let your anesthesiologist know about your experience of N/V and anesthesia, he or she will be able take measures to minimize your incidents of N/V. Typically, N/V tend to last about 2-3 hrs to a day. READ MORE
