Muscular Tissue Oxygen Saturation and Posthysterectomy Nausea and Vomiting The iMODIPONV Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions In a relatively young and healthy female patient population, personalized, goal-directed, muscular tissue oxygen saturation –guided intraoperative care is effective in treating decreased muscular tissue oxygen saturation but does not reduce the incidence of 24-h posthysterectomy nausea and vomiting.Editor ’s PerspectiveWhat We Already Know about This TopicSuboptimal tissue perfusion and oxygenation may provoke nausea and vomitingWhat This Article Tells Us That Is NewEight hundred relatively young women having laparoscopic hysterectomies were randomized to routine care or to muscle tissue oxygenation maintained at greater than baseline or 70%, whichever was higherGuided management improved tissue oxygenation but did not reduce nausea and vomiting
