Abstract

Purpose: To determine the effect of aromatherapy on postoperative anxiety and pain in patients undergoing oculoplastic surgery.

Methods: A randomized controlled study of 60 patients who underwent monitored anesthesia care sedation for oculoplastic procedures from August 2018 to November 2020. Patients were randomized to an aromatherapy (n = 32) or placebo (n = 28) condition. Anxiety was measured with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and visual analog scale for anxiety. Pain was measured with a visual analog scale for pain.

Results: Compared with control patients, aromatherapy patients had significantly lower postoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory state anxiety (24.1 vs. 29.1; p = 0.05) and visual analog scale pain scores (1.9 vs. 3.2; p = 0.05). Aromatherapy patients also had shorter stays in the postanesthesia care unit than control patients (57.7 vs. 79.4 minutes; p = 0.03).

Conclusions: Patients who received aromatherapy reported lower postoperative anxiety and pain. Aromatherapy may be a useful adjuvant analgesic and/or anxiolytic for patients undergoing oculoplastic procedures with monitored anesthesia care sedation.

芳香疗法对眼部整形手术患者焦虑和疼痛的影响

目的：确定芳香疗法对眼部整形手术患者术后焦虑和疼痛的影响：一项随机对照研究，研究对象为 2018 年 8 月至 2020 年 11 月期间接受眼部整形手术监测麻醉护理镇静的 60 名患者。患者随机接受芳香疗法（32 人）或安慰剂（28 人）治疗。焦虑程度通过状态-特质焦虑量表和焦虑视觉模拟量表进行测量。疼痛采用视觉模拟疼痛量表进行测量：与对照组患者相比，芳香疗法患者的术后状态-特质焦虑量表状态焦虑（24.1 vs. 29.1; p = 0.05）和视觉模拟疼痛量表疼痛评分（1.9 vs. 3.2; p = 0.05）均明显降低。芳香疗法患者在麻醉后护理病房的停留时间也比对照组患者短（57.7 分钟对 79.4 分钟；p = 0.03）：结论：接受芳香疗法的患者术后焦虑和疼痛程度较低。芳香疗法可能是一种有效的辅助镇痛剂和/或抗焦虑剂，适用于接受眼部整形手术并在监测麻醉护理镇静的患者。
