Which of the following agents used in general anesthesia is least likely to cause postoperative nausea and vomiting?

Enflurane
Etomidate
Isoflurane
Propofol

Explanation

Answer − D − The agent used in general anesthesia that is least likely to cause postoperative nausea and vomiting is propofol. Propofol may reduce blood pressure through vasodilating and negative inotropic effects on the heart, but is notable for rapid recovery and its freedom from postoperative nausea and vomiting due to its rapid distribution into tissues.
