<![CDATA[Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) or post-operative nausea and vomiting is a side effect that often occurs after anesthesia, occurring in the first 24 hours after surgery and occurs in 30% and reaches 80% in the high-risk group. Many factors cause PONV, including patient age, gender, smoking history, and history of motion sickness; from anesthesia, namely the use of opioids, volatile anesthetic agents such as sevoflurane and from surgery, namely the duration of surgery and type of surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the use of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting in post-general anesthesia patients at Karangasem District Hospital. This research methodology uses quantitative research with this type of research being correlative analytical research with a cross-sectional research design. The output of this research is that anesthetists can think critically about the risk of complications from using sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia in patients with general anesthesia, including post-operative nausea and vomiting, which is a problem in anesthesia nursing care so that it can be overcome. The results of this study showed that the majority of respondents with sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia duration > 30 minutes were 46 (59.7%), and the majority of respondents experienced PONV incidents, namely 41 (53.2%). Chi-Square Test Results (p) 0.000 where the value (p) is smaller than 0.05 so it can be interpreted that there is a relationship between the use of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and the incidence of Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) in patients after general anesthesia at Karangasem District Hospital. This study shows that there is a relationship between the use of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and the incidence of Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) in patients after general anesthesia at Karangasem District Hospital.]]>
