Abstract

Highlights: 1. This study provides insight into the effectiveness of peppermint and lavender aromatherapies in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients following spinal anesthesia. 2. Aromatherapies with peppermint and lavender administered three times within six hours have demonstrated potential as an easy-to-apply intervention that reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting. 3. In terms of effectiveness, however, peppermint aromatherapy exhibits a higher effectiveness in reducing nausea and vomiting compared to lavender aromatherapy. AbstractNausea and vomiting are common occurrences after surgery with spinal anesthesia, potentially leading to complications and delayed recovery. Hypotension associated with spinal, epidural, and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia is a significant factor contributing to postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This study aimed to determine the difference in effectiveness between peppermint and lavender aromatherapies for reducing PONV in patients receiving spinal anesthesia. This study used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The research sample comprised at least 12 respondents in each group, resulting in a total of 36 respondents selected by a random sampling technique utilizing a wheel spinner. The inclusion criteria were respondents who experienced moderate to severe PONV, as indicated by scores of 9–24. The Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (RINVR) instrument was utilized to measure the level of nausea and vomiting over six hours. The statistical analysis included the Mann-Whitney test and the Wilcoxon test, with a significance level set at p

Abstract

Patients who are delayed in recovery after spinal anesthesia will be transferred to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) which can lead to increased service costs and patient dissatisfaction. Lower extremity motor function recovery time after spinal anesthesia is the time it takes for patients to be able to move from the recovery room to the patient's original room. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of Head-up position to the recovery time of lower extremity motor function in spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room. The design of the study was correlation with a “cross-sectional” approach. The population was post-spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room who meet the criteria. The study used "purposive sampling" with 96 post-spinal anesthesia patients. The independent variable was the head-up position, while the dependent variable was the recovery time of lower extremity motor function. The analysis test used the Pearson correlation test. The results of the correlation test showed no correlation between head-up position and recovery time of lower extremity motor function in spinal anesthesia patients with p-value = 0.099 (>0.05). This was due to the longer the duration of surgery, the faster the effect of spinal anesthesia drugs will run out. It is recommended to apply the results of this study as a review of SOPs related to the intervention of giving a head-up position to post-spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room.
