Abstract
INTRODUCTION: According to the literature, the incidence of PONV is 2 times higher in children compared to adults. In the studies conducted, there are conflicting data on the pro-emetogenic and anti-emetogenic properties of xenon. OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of xenon on the incidence of PONV in the early post-anesthesia period using it in combined anesthesia when performing oral sanitation in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective, observational study included 113 children of both sexes (42 girls, 71 boys). All children underwent combined inhalation anesthesia using xenon in conjunction with local anesthesia by articaine. RESULTS: According to the results of the study, the incidence of PONV was 4.4 %, whereas the estimated PONV was 30 % in 68 % of children from the presented sample of patients before anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: In outpatient dental practice, when performing combined anesthesia with the use of xenon, the incidence of PONV is within 4 %. The choice of inhalation anesthetic xenon in children in terms of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is justified and can be recommended in outpatient practice.
