Abstract :The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Chamomilla Recutita on nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Chamomilla Recutita insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.); fell into either chamomile or placebo groups randomly. The intervention was performed one hour before the operation. The severity of nausea and the frequency of vomiting was measured using a visual analog scale. Both groups were studied in three stages before the operation, after the operation in recovery, and 2 hours after the operation. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS);. The mean severity of nausea increased significantly over time in both groups; however, this increase was significantly slighter in the chamomile group than that in the placebo group. The frequency of preoperative nausea in the chamomile and placebo groups was 6.2% and 25%, respectively, before being discharged from the recovery. Two hours later, in the surgical ward, this frequency was estimated to be 31.2% in the chamomile group and 75% in the placebo group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P <0.05);. The frequency of vomiting in the surgical ward was 15.6% and 56.2% in the chamomile and placebo groups, respectively. Thus, this frequency in the chamomile group was significantly lower than in the placebo group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.001);. It seems that in laparoscopic surgeries, the use of chamomile drops as a preventive drug reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting.
