Background & Objectives:
Postoperative nausea & vomiting (PONV) is a symptom that may occur in patient that recently undergone
surgical procedures. It usually occurs 24 hours after surgery. Although many research has done to prevent the
incidence of PONV, it becomes a problem in postoperative care because of patient discomfort and prolonged
length of stay.
There is multiple cause related to incidence of PONC, including anesthesia drugs, types of procedure, and

patient's risk. Risk of PONV is higher in female, non-smoker, patient with former history of PONV or motion
sickness, and patient with history of opioid use.
The goal of this study is to determine the connection between administration of Ringer Lactate's fluid
administrarion to replace fasting fluid loss and incidence of postoperative nausea vomiting incidence.
Materials & Methods:
The method of this research is descriptive analytic wit cross sectional approach. The tools for obtaining data is
from observation and interview. This study is done from September 2015 until November 2015 at H. Adam
Malik General Hospital by interviewing sample in 12 hour and 24 hour after surgical procedure with general
anesthesia and receiving 2 cC/kgBWIhour Ringer's Lactate solutionto substitute fasting loss
Results:
Total of samples included are 54 person. Among them, 13 people (24,1%) experienced PONV. Highest
incidence of nausea is within 12 hours after surgery which happen in 11 people (20,4%). Only 5 people (9,3%)
experience nausea in 24 hours after surgery.
Highest incidence of vomiting is in 12 hours after surgery which is found in 7 people (13%). P value for PONV
variable in 12 hour and 24 hour after surgery is 0,109 (p>O,05)
Conclusion:
There is no significant correlation between administration of preoperative Ringer's Lactate solution to replace
fasting loss with PONV incidence. PONV is often seen in early onset (12 hours after surgery) that is in 11
patient from 54 people in sample.
