Effect of a Preoperative Proton Pump Inhibitor and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after anesthesia, but no study has considered the effects of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on PONV at the same time. Thus, we investigated the effects of a PPI and GERD on PONV. Patients aged ?18 years who underwent general anesthesia between 2010 and 2019 were enrolled. In total, 202,439 patients were included and 21,361 In a multivariate analysis, the OR for PONV was higher in subjects with GERD (OR, 1.157; 95% CI, 1.032-1.298; p = 0.012). The OR was lower for subjects with taking a PPI (OR, 0.890; 95% CI, 0.832-0.953; p < 0.0001). In patients without GERD, the incidence of PONV was lower when lansoprazole (OR, 0.801; 95% CI, 0.718-0.894; p < 0.0001), pantoprazole (OR, 0.856; 95% CI, 0.748-0.980; p = 0.025) and ilaprazole (OR, 0.391; 95% CI, 0.158-0.966; p = 0.042) were taken. However, in GERD patients, all PPIs did not show reducing the incidence of PONV. Taken together, the results show that a lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and ilaprazole reduced PONV in patients without GERD, and PPI could not reduce PONV in patients with GERD.
