Summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains current as a complication and moderate evidence is available regarding the impact of preoperative oral carbohydrate-fluid administration on PONV. Honey, a natural source of carbohydrates, has an antioxidative effect and protects the gastric mucosa.

Aim: To investigate the effect of oral honey and water for up to 2 hours preoperatively on PONV.

Methods: A total of 142 elective thyroidectomy (experiment:35; control:37) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (experiment:33; control: 37) patients were included. The experiment group was administered a 60 grams honey and 100 ml water mixture up to 2 hours preoperatively. The patients were monitored postoperative 0-6 hours using Rhodes Index of Nausea-Vomiting-Retching (R-INVR) and visual analog scale (VAS) for PONV.
