It is observed in about 20-70% of all surgeries and is one of the important causes of morbidity and cost increase. Studies have shown that oxygen administration at higher concentrations during surgery has reduced PONV. The current study investigated the effect of extra oxygen during appendicitis surgery on nausea and vomiting after surgery.</span><br> <strong><span style="color:#0e101a">Search Strategy:</span></strong><span style="color:#0e101a"> This study was conducted experimentally on 60 patients undergoing appendicitis surgery in Pastor Bam Hospital. Patients were randomly divided into groups receiving 100% oxygen (group 100) and those receiving 30% oxygen (group 30). Participants had travel sickness, smoking, reflux, migraine, or taking anti-nausea medication one day before the operation, and obese patients were excluded from the study. </span><br> <strong><span style="color:#0e101a">Results:</span></strong><span style="color:#0e101a"> There was no significant difference in nausea and vomiting in the two groups receiving oxygen 100 and 30 in the recovery room (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Also, the comparison of the two groups in the surgical department did not show any significant difference (<i>p</i> > 0.05).</span><br> <strong><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="color:#0e101a">Conclusion and Discussion:</span></span></strong><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="color:#0e101a"> The findings show that using excess oxygen does not improve nausea and vomiting after appendicitis surgery. </span></span><br> <br> <img alt="" src="./files/site1/images/888.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 36px;" ></span></span></div> Anesthesia, Oxygen, Postoperative nausea and vomiting 283 283 http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4696-300&slc_lang=other&sid=1 Malihe Kahi Yes Mohammad Shayan Vahabi Rad No Amir Reza Salehi No
