RECRUITING
The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of inhalation of a mixture of ginger and lemon Essential Oils (EO) versus placebo in addition to conventional antiemetic treatments on the intensity of chemo-induced nausea during the acute phase D1 (H24) of its onset in patients with C1 haematological malignancies. This multicentre study will be carried out in 5 establishments (haematology and oncology care sectors), which represents a very high potential for inclusion. In addition, the investigator expect a very high acceptance rate for this study. In fact, in the context of CINV, this care strategy may meet a patient's expectation of symptoms (nausea, vomiting) that they find difficult to manage. Finally, it is known that patients in these care sectors are very keen on supportive care to improve their quality of life, so this is a potentially very interesting opportunity without any particular risk that is offered to participants in this study. A nurse and a doctor with a postgraduate diploma in aromatherapy are coordinating the team, with the support of a nurse trained in evidence-based practice research methodology. Institutional procedures drawn up by the team at Limoges University Hospital describe the general procedure for using aromatherapy in a scientific and safe way, the protocols that can be used to describe the operating methods, the traceability of the manufacture of the mixtures and their administration, and the evaluation of their effectiveness. Supporting documents, an information note and a monitoring sheet have been created and are being used.
RECRUITING
Sepsis and its most serious form, septic shock, are a public health problem. Sepsis is defined by the presence of organ failure, including acute circulatory failure, which combines hypovolemia, vasoplegia and cardiac dysfunction. Vascular filling is therefore a pillar of the management of septic patients to correct hypovolemia and improve perfusion and tissue oxygenation. Following numerous studies, the evaluation of peripheral microcirculation is becoming a clinical "trigger" making it possible to identify patients at risk, particularly in emergency department. In a meta-analysis, it has been showed that alterations in microcirculatory perfusion predict deterioration and mortality during severe infections. Currently, no interventional study has evaluated the impact of measuring microcirculatory perfusion (peripheral perfusion index and marbling) by nurses on patient prognosis through early initiation of vascular filling. In this study, patients will be assessed hemodynamically using peripheral perfusion index and/or presence of mottling. If peripheral perfusion index \> 3s and/or presence of marbling a first vascular filling test of 500 cc over 30 minutes will be started after a medical control. Patient will be followed up 7 days to determine outcome.
