Penehyclidine for Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting After Bimaxillary Surgery

Summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after surgery. Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery are reported to have a high rate of PONV, especially those undergoing bimaxillary surgery. Activation of cholinergic system plays an important role in the development of PONV. Penehyclidine is an muscarinic antagonists which selectively block M1 and M3 receptors and is commonly used to decrease oral secretion. The investigators hypothesize that continuously administrated penehyclidine during perioperative period can reduce the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery.
