Nausea and Vomiting
Captions available
The idea
Nausea and vomiting after surgery are common side effects of anesthesia medications.
In practice
They are treated with antiemetic medications as prescribed; after abdominal surgery, retching can strain the abdominal wall.
Where people slip
That strain can contribute to wound separation, which is why preventing nausea matters after abdominal operations.
