Clinical guidelines recommend identifying PONV prophylactic interventions based on risk score. While the guidelines recommend several antiemetics, metoclopramide was not recommended.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to re-examine the use of metoclopramide and describe the incidence of subsequent PONV stratified by risk scores among adult ambulatory surgical patients.Item Open Access High-intensity Treatment & Weight Reduction Goal Achievement with MOVE!®(2015-02) Garvin, JanePurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine weight reduction and high-intensity treatment at 6 months after enrolling in the local MOVE!® program.Item Open Access Weight Reduction Among Veterans in the MOVE!
