Scopolamine patches
are effective options for
preventing PONV, espe-
cially before ambulatory
surgery, but aren't opti-
mal for treatment once
the symptoms manifest,
because it takes 3 or 4
hours for the patches to
reach maximum efficacy.
Aromatherapy is certain-
ly a viable preventative
measure worth explor-
ing, but the data is not
solid on its overall
impact.
One-third of patients
who undergo outpatient
surgery experience nau-
sea and vomiting after
they're discharged to
home, where they don't
have access to therapy.
That's a significant issue,
one that researchers are
trying to solve. Current
efforts to reduce inci-
dence of PDNV focus on
administering IV and oral
Even with advancements in
anesthetic techniques and anti-
emetic medications, many patients
still experience post-op PONV. At
best, PONV delays discharge; at
worst, it requires hospital
admission. Studies show it can cost
centers over $250,000 per year.
Soothing Scents, Inc, the maker of
QueaseEASE, has been producing
an answer to this problem since
2004 with outstanding results. QueaseEASE is a blend of 4 essential oils
(Peppermint, Ginger, Lavender and Spearmint) that have anti-emetic
properties, provided in an innovative personal inhaler.
Therapeutic Inhaled Essential Oil therapy, or TIEO, works much like the
old alcohol prep pad trick. Inhalation of EOs vapor stimulates a complex
neurological process that ultimately interrupts the nausea feedback loop
in the midbrain and forebrain. Unlike alcohol, EOs possess additional
benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anxiolytic
properties. They also smell wonderful! Here are 5 reasons why
QueaseEASE is perfect for the outpatient surgery setting:
IT WORKS FAST
- Simply twist open the attached cap and ask the
patient to take several deep breaths. In as little as a minute, patients begin
to feel relief.
IT'S SAFE
– The QueaseEASE container is specifically designed for use
with sedated patients, so no undiluted EO can touch the skin or mucous
membranes. The ambient concentration is calibrated to be effective, yet
safe for all ages. It can be used as often as needed by anyone, regardless of
co-existing medical conditions.
IT'S EFFECTIVE
- Thirteen clinical investigations (and counting) have
shown that QueaseEASE is an optimal first line choice for PONV. For a

IT'S DRUG FREE
- No prescription or order needed. As an all-natural
nursing intervention, it can be stocked at the bedside and provided
quickly the moment a patient needs it.
IT'S USEFUL THROUGHOUT RECOVERY
- When patients stand up
to get dressed, ride home in the car, or take their first pain pill, they often
get nauseated. With QueaseEASE, nurses can confidently discharge their
patients, knowing they literally have something in hand to stop the
queasiness. In addition, patients report higher satisfaction with their
nausea treatment when given QueaseEASE.
