Abstract

Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after surgery with spinal anesthesia, with an incidence reaching 20–30%. PONV can prolong hospitalization, increase treatment costs, and reduce patient comfort. Peppermint aromatherapy is an effective, easy, and patient-accepted alternative to reduce PONV symptoms. Peppermint contains menthol which is carminative and antispasmodic, and can provide a relaxing effect through stimulation of the central nervous system. Objective to determine the effect of peppermint aromatherapy on the incidence of PONV in patients after spinal anesthesia. Method: This study was a quasi-experiment with a pre and post test design without control. Thirty post-spinal anesthesia patients were given peppermint aromatherapy, then PONV incidence was measured before and after the intervention using the Gordon scale. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. Results: Peppermint aromatherapy has been proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of PONV in patients after spinal anesthesia. Of the 30 respondents, the majority experienced nausea (73.3%) and vomiting (26.7%) before the intervention. After aromatherapy, 36.7% did not experience symptoms, and only 6.7% still vomited. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference (p = 0.000), indicating that peppermint aromatherapy was statistically effective in reducing PONV. Conclusions: Peppermint aromatherapy is effective in reducing the incidence of PONV in post-spinal anesthesia patients, as indicated by a decrease in nausea and vomiting symptoms after the intervention.

Abstract

Fasting that is too long will affect the patient's condition, one of which is the patient's blood sugar levels. In this case, it is necessary to control the start time of fasting with the time of the operation that the patient will undergo. The purpose of the study was to determine Preoperative Fasting and Blood Sugar Highlighting Emergency Complications in General Anesthesia Patients at Dr. Reksodiwiryo Class III Hospital in Padang. A correlational analytical observational study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach. This observational analytical correlational study was conducted with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples was 34 people, the sampling technique used consecutive sampling. This research instrument used an observation sheet and a blood sugar level monitoring tool (Glucometer) With the respondent criteria determined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The test results showed that there was a relationship between the length of fasting and blood sugar levels highlighting emergencies in preoperative general anesthesia patients at Dr. Reksodiwiryo Class III Hospital in Padang with a p value = 0.005. It can be concluded that the duration of preoperative fasting can affect blood sugar levels in general anesthesia patients which causes patients to become hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic which triggers various emergency complications that can worsen the patient's clinical condition when undergoing general anesthesia.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) infection can cause complications in the respiratory system including oxygen saturation, this condition can affect the condition of post-surgery patients. In patients who will undergo surgery, optimal oxygen saturation is very important in maintaining hemodynamic stability and success in anesthesia and patient recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a history of COVID-19 infection on oxygen saturation in elective surgical patients. The design of this study was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size was 76 people consisting of 38 groups with a history of COVID-19 and 38 groups with a history of COVID-19. The sampling method used a purposive sampling technique with respondent criteria that had been determined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the Independent Sample t-test showed a significant difference in decreased oxygen saturation in patients with a history of COVID-19 compared to patients without a history of COVID-19 with the results (p <α = 0.05). It can be concluded that a history of COVID-19 infection has an impact on decreased oxygen saturation in elective surgical patients. These findings suggest the importance of careful preoperative evaluation and more intensive oxygenation monitoring in patients with a history of COVID-19 infection to minimize the risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Abstract

TB-HIV patients are expected to routinely undergo OAT and ARV treatment simultaneously, this causes the side effects of drugs in patients to be double, resulting in many patients who are not compliant in undergoing treatment. Non-compliance will result in treatment resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-motivation in adherence to taking OAT and ARV drugs and side effects in TB-HIV patients at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital. The study design was observational with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples was 60 people, the sampling technique used Total Sampling. With the respondent criteria that have been determined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The test results showed that patient motivation has a p value of 0.000, drug side effects (0.000), It can be concluded that services for TB-HIV patients must provide education to patients and their families about the need to have medication adherence. With this education, patients will have good adherence so that the success rate of treatment is higher.
