Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an affliction many surgery patients suffer from, but some patients are burdened with PONV risk factors that almost guarantee suffering. Current PONV treatment modalities for high-risk patients rely on drugs that can cause adverse side effects, raising the issue of patient compliance and the resulting increase in post-surgical complications.

This report critiques the value of this study in providing empirical evidence to support treating high-risk PONV patients with aromatherapy.
