ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a common complication of anesthesia. We tried to assess the amount patients were willing to pay for a hypothetical antiemetic that would completely prevent PONV.METHODS:
Trained residents interviewed 86 patients, who were scheduled to undergo general anesthesia, and questionnaires were completed.RESULTS:
Patients were willing to pay a median of 30,000 won for an antiemetic that would completely prevent PONV. The amounts patients were willing to pay correlated with age, previous history of PONV, and patient income.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients assigned a value for avoidance of PONV. It is suggested that more efforts to prevent PONV would be helpful for the increase in patient satisfaction.
