Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to evaluate the effect of preoperative acupressure application on Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of being in high risk group for PONV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prevention of postoperative complications is one of the main tasks of nurses. However, there are limited nursing interventions that can be done to prevent PONV. The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses suggest nurses to teach patients with a high risk of PONV about acupressure application on P6 acupoint or to apply acupressure wristbands preoperatively. However this suggestion has a low evidence.
