A prospective cohort observational study to validate a simplified postoperative nausea and vomiting severity scale and its effects on sleep and vitality
We developed a simple and practical scale to monitor PONV intensity in a broad clinical surgical setting. A high SPONVSS score (≥ 3) is an independent risk for rescue antiemesis, poor sleep quality, and vitality. This scale will be useful to monitor the postoperative care quality and improve postoperative care.
