Which section of the Postprocedure Navigator is utilized to document PONV for future awareness?

The section of the Postprocedure Navigator dedicated to documenting Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is the Anesthesia History. This is crucial because PONV is a significant aspect of patient recovery that can influence future anesthetic management and patient outcomes. By documenting occurrences of PONV, anesthesia providers can recognize patterns and adjust future anesthetic plans to mitigate risks, such as choosing antiemetic prophylaxis or making adjustments to anesthetic agents.

The Anesthesia History typically includes details about the patient's response to anesthesia, including any side effects like PONV. This information is vital for ensuring that similar incidents are managed appropriately for subsequent procedures, ultimately enhancing patient safety and satisfaction in future surgeries.
