    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To determine the role of hemogram parameters such as platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), and the MPV/PLT ratio in predicting the risk of postoperative vomiting (POV) in children after tooth extraction under deep sedation. METHODS: A total of 100 American Society of Anesthesiology Classification I and II pediatric patients who underwent tooth extraction procedures under a standard anesthetic method were included in the study between 2012 and 2014. The study took place at the Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Erciyes University, Erciyes, Turkey Fifty patients without POV (group 1) and 50 patients with POV (group 2) were retrospectively selected randomly from the records of 885 consecutive patients. Age, gender, duration of the operation, and preoperative hemogram findings were recorded. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of MPV (p less than 0.001), PLT (p=0.006), and MPV/PLT (p less than 0.001) ratio. Mean platelet volume and MPV/PLT ratio were higher in group 2, whereas PLT was higher in group 1. CONCLUSION: The PLT count, MPV, and MPV/PLT ratio may be used to predict POV in children.
