Abstract

With the growing advocation for and legalization of medical and recreational marijuana, its presence in patients presenting for anesthesia is on the rise. It has been hypothesized that complications such as nausea and vomiting may be reduced with the administration of cannabis both pre-operatively and intra-operatively. The purpose of this evidence-based practice analysis is to examine current evidence to determine if pre-operative use of cannabis or the administration of cannabis versus no cannabis or administration of a placebo results in decreased post-operative nausea and vomiting.
