Is vomiting frequent or common from barbiturate anesthetics or no?

PONV: Can occur with both IV administered anesthetics (barbiturates, opioids, hypnotics) and also inhalation anesthetic agents (desflurane, sevoflurane, halothane, isoflurane). I see more ponv with inhalation agents vs. Iv administered agents. And i see more ponv episodes with barbs like brevital vs. With hypnotics like propfol i see very little.

No & no: Usually there are minimal 2 no barbiturates used in anesthesia unless it's used early in the induction of anesthesia. They may cause some nausea but the anesthetic agents used 2 keep u asleep & opiates so u don't feel & react to pain during the procedure & paralytic agents r used 2 keep u from moving during the procedure. They r reversed as u awake. Hard 2 incriminate 1 single drug subsets in n/v?
