ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to determine if using essential oil products for adult patients reduced the need for antiemetics for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).DESIGN:
A prospective and retrospective cross-sectional design using a convenience sample.METHODS:
Double blinded to the type of essential oil, subjects randomly selected a nasal inhaler containing peppermint, ginger, or a combination of both. A prophylactic dose was given preoperatively, and during the postoperative period nausea was assessed using verbal descriptive scale.FINDINGS:
Overall 322 same day surgical patients were analyzed (control group [n = 179] and intervention group [n = 143]). The intervention group had a greater history of PONV but received fewer doses of antiemetics postoperatively compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the three types of inhalers.CONCLUSIONS:
Aromatherapy demonstrated a statistically significant (P < .05) reduction in the need for antiemetics to treat PONV.Palavras-chave
