简要总结
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of postoperative menthol ice and frozen saline applications on thirst and sore throat in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery.
详细描述
In the postoperative period, patients become susceptible to many complications that may develop due to general anaesthesia, endotracheal intubation, surgical intervention and clinical conditions. One of the conditions that patients experience quite intensely in the postoperative period and which is usually ignored in clinics is the feeling of thirst. Another problem that may occur in patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia is discomfort due to endotracheal intubation. Patients may experience problems such as sore throat, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing and dry throat in the postoperative period due to endotracheal intubation. Diagnosis and control of postoperative thirst and sore throat contribute to patient comfort and prevention of complications. This study is considered important because it draws attention to postoperative thirst and sore throat, a problem that surgical patients have.

结局指标
主要结局
Total Score on the Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention), and at 30 and 60 minutes after each of two interventions (total of 5 time points within 2 hours post-op).
The Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale is a 6-item self-report instrument. It uses a 3-point Likert response format with each item rated as: 0 = Did not disturb, 1 = Somewhat disturbed, and 2 = Very disturbed. The total score ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating greater perioperative thirst discomfort. The scale has no sub-dimensions. It is used to quantitatively assess patients' perceived thirst discomfort during the perioperative period.
次要结局
- Throat Pain Intensity as Measured by the Numerical Pain Scale(Baseline (pre-intervention), and at 30 and 60 minutes after each of two interventions (total of 5 time points within 2 hours post-op).)
- Eligibility for Oral Hydration Administration According to the Safety Protocol for Management Thirst in the Immediate Postoperative Period(Baseline (pre-intervention) (total of one time point within post-op period))
