Ponv

What is your standard cocktaIl? Timing of drugs? Dose? What's your cocktail for patients with prior PONV? Are you following the SAMBA guidelines? I do ondansetron 4mg, only towards the end. If prior PONV, or high risk, I toss dexamethasone 4mg at the end also. If patients still have PONV in pacu I add another dose of ondansetron 4mg, benadryl 50mg and metoclopramide 10mg. I'm not precisely following the SAMBA guidelines but seems to work. We don't have any of the newer antiemetics.
