Study Design: This is retrospective cohort study, utilizing electronic health record data pre- and post-implementation of a nurse-driven quality improvement intervention. Methods: The study examined the impact of an inhaled custom blend of essential oils containing lavender, peppermint, ginger and lemon to assist in decreasing PONV and reduce the use of antiemetic medications. Data on the use of antiemetic drugs in pre- and post-intervention periods were analyzed. Findings: Nurses provided the Post-Ease blend 384 times in 2020 to patients as an option before proceeding, if necessary, to antiemetic drugs. The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the number of unique surgical patients\u2019 need for antiemetics as treatment (22%; p\u2009=\u2009.05). Similarly, the total doses of antiemetics administered was significantly reduced (21%; p\u2009\u2264\u2009.05) during the study period. Conclusion: This study supports the use of aromatherapy to reduce PONV and minimize antiemetic use in an orthopaedic population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08980101211065555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T05:04:07Z","timestamp":1639544647000},"page":"351-358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Complementary Intervention in Postoperative Care: Aromatherapy's Role in Decreasing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7768-7152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emily","family":"Marsh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Concord Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donna","family":"Millette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Concord Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Wolfe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Concord Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"bibr1-08980101211065555","first-page":"375","volume":"28","author":"Abril K","year":"2019","journal-title":"MEDSURG Nursing"},{"key":"bibr2-08980101211065555","unstructured":"Cohen J.
