H2: Cold steam application after surgical intervention has a decreasing effect on postoperative vomiting.
H3: Cold steam application after surgical intervention reduces the need for antiemetic drugs.
H4: Cold steam application after surgical intervention has a satisfactory effect on reducing nausea and vomiting.
