Overview
Brief Summary
The study was conducted to determine the effect of oral water and ice popsicle on management of thirst in the immediate postoperative period as experimental.
Detailed Description
Also, it is aimed to evaluate validity and reliability of "Safety Protocol for Management Thirst in the Immediate Postoperative Period Protocol" which is used to take oral water and ice of patients in the immediate postoperative period, as administrative. The study was conducted with 150 patients who are transferred to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after their operation and met study criteria. Patients divided into three groups as the study (water group=50, ice group=50) and control (n=50). Patients in the study group were performed oral water/ice popsicle after their accession to PACU. However, the control group patients have performed rutin treatment and care without any other intervention. Physiologic variables and symptoms with thirst were followed in every three group patients at certain times. Data were evaluated by using NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 program.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
THIRSTY SCALE
Time Frame: first 30 minutes after the surgery
Thirsty and symptoms of thırsty evaluated via vısual analog scale which containing numbers from zero to ten (0-10), "0" is the minumun point, "10" is the maximum point, higher values represent a better situation.
Secondary Outcomes
- The blood pressure measurements in the first 30 minutes after surgery(first 30 minutes after surgery)
- The heart rate measurements in the first 30 minutes after surgery(first 30 minutes after surgery)
- The body temperature measurements in the first 30 minutes after surgery(first 30 minutes after surgery)
