Summary

The investigators would like to compare the therapeutic and cost effectiveness of established therapies for postoperative nausea and vomiting to regional nerve blocks of the head and neck area an intervention known for analgesia but for which the antiemetic effects hasn't been entirely explored.

The rational is based on the knowledge of the anatomical innervation of the inner ear and the role of the parasympathetic nervous system in the emetic act. A lot of focus has been given on its counterpart the sympathetic nervous system and its role in painful conditions. The investigators believe that the nerve blockade of the parasympathetic innervation can have some beneficial effect in the post-surgical patient.
