Post-surgical hematemesis (vomiting blood) occurs for various reasons, not all of them serious or grave. Blood is very irritating to the stomach and upper GI tract, and the presence of even small amounts can cause vomiting. Post-surgical drainage of blood into the GI tract does occur and is frequently controlled with the use of nasogastric tubes to keep the irritation to a minimum. Medications can also be used to mitigate vomiting in post surgical situations. If a patient vomits more than a little bit of blood, then special attention needs to be paid to assess whether it is a sign of hemorrhage which would require more surgery to correct. Even a small bleed, over time, can lead to anemia and have an impact on the patient's ability to clot. Any time a patient vomits blood, it needs to be addressed with his or her doctor.

Is it common to vomit after tonsillectomy?
While it is not considered "normal" to vomit following oral surgery, it is a complication that is anticipated. Some people will react this way because of either the anesthetics or from swallowing blood during the surgery. If the surgeon planned to use sedation as part of the procedure, you were told to not eat or drink anything for several hours prior to the surgery. This was to prevent you from aspirating stomach contents into your lungs if you vomited during the procedure. Once the anesthetics have all been metabolized by the liver within a day or so, you should be feeling fine. If you continue to vomit or bleed, notify your surgeon and keep him/her apprised of your situation. Follow their instructions.

During a blood transfusion is the patients old blood removed from the body?
Not generally. The point of a transfusion is to replace lost blood, so removing blood as you put it in from the transfusion defeats the purpose. Sometimes before surgery, you will undergo "saving" blood, that is before surgery some of your blood is drawn and saved, so it can be put back in after surgery. (This is done weeks in advance, so your body has time to get its blood levels back to normal.) Student Doctor
