简要总结
Thirst is defined as the desire to drink water. The perception and satiation of thirst constitute an interconnected network of neuronal, physiological and hormonal mechanisms that act simultaneously. In the oropharyngeal cavity are ionic channels called Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 stimulated by cold temperatures and menthol, which aid in the control and decrease of the thirst intensity for providing refreshment and satiety without, however, the necessity of fluid intake In high amounts.
详细描述
Thus, the present study aims to: compare the intensity and discomfort of thirst in the use of the menthol popsicle and usual care in patients in the preoperative period. This is a randomized clinical trial, to be performed in a public tertiary hospital. The sample size calculation will be performed after the pilot test is conducted. Two groups will be formed through randomization. The tested intervention consists of the menthol popsicle (experimental group). The thirst intensity (primary outcome) will be measured by means of the Numerical Scale and the discomfort of thirst (secondary outcome) through the Perioperative Seat Discomfort Scale, in two moments: at the end of the first approach of the patient and 20 minutes after the intervention. The results of this research may support the decision-making of health professionals in the implementation of effective and safe actions to manage the seat of the surgical patient in the preoperative period. Another relevant aspect is the production of knowledge about the problem, which is scarce both in the national and international scenario.

研究组 & 干预措施
Menthol Popsicle
The patient will be questioned when the intensity and discomfort of thirst. After randomization, the patient assigned to the experimental group will experience a menthol popsicle. After 20 minutes of the end of the popsicle, will again be questioned as to the intensity and discomfort of thirst. The popsicle will have a support that will assist the patient in the administration of the intervention, giving him autonomy and safety in the application of the intervention.
干预措施: Menthol Popsicle (Other)
Usual care
The patient will be questioned when the intensity and discomfort of thirst. After randomization, the patient assigned to the control group should receive the usual care consisting of absolute fasting the food and drinks.
结局指标
主要结局
Intensity of thirst
时间窗: Measured at the beginning of the survey. For the experimental group, this measurement was measured again 20 minutes after tasting the menthol popsicle. For the control group, this measure was re-measured 20 minutes after the randomization.
Measured from zero to ten, where zero is no thirst and ten worst thirst.
Discomfort of thirst.
时间窗: Measured at the beginning of the survey. For the experimental group, this measurement was measured again 20 minutes after tasting the menthol popsicle. For the control group, this measure was re-measured 20 minutes after the randomization.
Measured according to the Perioperative Headquarters Discomfort Scale (EDESP). The final EDESP score ranges from zero to 14 points, 14 of which correspond to the most intense discomfort related to the perioperative seat.
