146489 - INTRAOP ACCU-STIMULATION OF P6 FOR PREVENTION OF PONV IN CRANIOTOMIES Author(s)
INTRODUCTION Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can impact recovery, with an average incidence of 38.3% (1). Predictors include: female gender, history of PONV, nonsmoker, perioperative opioids, and surgical procedure. Increases in intracranial pressure from Valsalva in craniotomies can result in tissue swelling, hemorrhage, or hematoma, compromising outcome (2). PONV the first 24 hours ...

متن کامل4-colorability of P6-free graphs
In this paper we will study the complexity of 4-colorability in subclasses of P6-free graphs. The well known k-colorability problem is NP -complete. It has been shown that if k-colorability is solvable in polynomial time for an induced H-free graph, then every component of H is a path. Recently, Huang [11] has shown several improved complexity results on k-coloring Pt-free graphs, where Pt is a...
