Summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting is very common in children undergone tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the antiemetic effect of super-hydration with 0.9% saline in children undergoing specifically elective otorhinolaryngological surgery. Fluid intake reduces vomiting as seen following extended period of fasting that interrupts the perfusion in gut. Based on this knowledge, we hypothesized that administration of supplemental fluid would reduce the incidence of postoperative vomiting.
