PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the aromatherapy product QueaseEASE (QE) for decreasing @entity390 ( @entity390 ) in @entity1 undergoing outpatient abdominal surgery. DESIGN: Prospective exploratory study. METHODS: Informed Consent was obtained preoperatively from a convenience sample of adult @entity1 scheduled for outpatient abdominal surgery procedures. Prior to discharge, subjects were instructed in the use of QE and given instructions on how to rate their @entity390 on a 0-10 scale. They recorded @entity390 scales > 0 any time they occurred for the next 24 hours, used the QE, and recorded their @entity390 scales 3 minutes later. A study nurse called subjects the next day to collect the information. FINDINGS: The sample included 70 outpatients who underwent abdominal surgery. Twenty-five @entity1 (36%) reported experiencing @entity390 and their concomitant use of QE. There was a significant difference in mean age of those reporting @entity390 (37 years) versus those without @entity390 (48 years, P = .004) as well as a significant difference in mean intravenous fluid intake during hospitalization of those reporting @entity390 (1,310  mL) versus those without @entity390 (1,511  mL, P = .04). The @entity390 group had more female @entity1 (72% vs 42%, P = .02), more @entity1 that were less than 50  years of age (84% vs 53%, P = .02), and received more opioids (100% vs 76%, P = .006) than the no @entity390 group. The 25 @entity390 @entity1 reported 47 episodes of @entity390 in which they used QE. For all of the 47 @entity390 episodes experienced, @entity1 reported a decrease in @entity390 scale (0 to 10) after the use of QE; for 22 (47%) of the @entity390 episodes experienced, a @entity390 scale of 0 after using QE was reported. The mean decrease in @entity390 scale for all 25 @entity1 was 4.78 (  2.12) after using QE. CONCLUSION: This study found that the aromatherapy QE was an effective treatment of @entity390 in select same-day abdominal surgery @entity1 .
