To evaluate the following question: In adult surgical patients, does the use of aromatherapy affect the incidence of nausea and vomiting postoperatively?
Systematic review of research focusing on aromatherapy and the effect on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in adult surgical patients.
A search of Medline, PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Literature, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded five randomized controlled trials.
The overall synthesis of evidence supports the use of aromatherapy in PONV. Aromatherapy has a positive effect on PONV, and therefore should be considered as a complementary therapy or as an adjunct to antiemetic medications.
Aromatherapy is one modality that should be considered as treatment for PONV in adult surgical patients. More research should be conducted to provide additional support in the use of aromatherapy for PONV. Future research could aim at standardizing a nausea scale that would provide more reliable and valid results in studies that research PONV.
评估以下问题：在成年外科手术患者中，使用芳香疗法是否会影响术后恶心和呕吐的发生率？
对聚焦于芳香疗法及其对成年外科手术患者术后恶心和呕吐（PONV）影响的研究进行系统综述。
使用特定的纳入和排除标准，检索Medline、PubMed、护理及相关健康文献累积索引以及Cochrane系统评价数据库，获得了五项随机对照试验。
证据的总体综合支持在PONV中使用芳香疗法。芳香疗法对PONV有积极作用，因此应被视为一种辅助疗法或作为止吐药物的辅助手段。
芳香疗法是应被视为成年外科手术患者PONV治疗方法之一。应开展更多研究以提供更多关于芳香疗法用于PONV的支持。未来的研究可以旨在标准化一种恶心量表，该量表在研究PONV的研究中能提供更可靠和有效的结果。
