Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: The study was carried out to determine the effect of drinking warm water on GIS functions in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Description:

Method: The research was completed in Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl City Hospital with 100 patients, 50 of whom were in the Study Group (WG) and 50 were in the Control Group (KG). The patients in CG were given warm water to drink at the 2nd hour after surgery. On the other hand, patients in KG were allowed to drink warm water after bowel sounds started and gas was produced. Patients in both groups were 2,4,8,12 after surgery. hours were evaluated in terms of GIS functions. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS 22.0 for Windows package program. A p<0.05 value was accepted for statistical significance.

Intervention

Other:
• Drinking Warm Water Intervention
Patients in the Warm Water Group (WG) received a warm water drinking intervention post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Before intake, the bed head was elevated to 45°C, and gagging and swallowing reflexes were assessed using an Abeslang to touch the oropharynx. Nausea indicated a positive reflex. Two patients with negative reflexes were excluded from WG. To maintain water temperature, individual insulated cups with thermal features were used, preventing infection transmission. Water was boiled in a clinic kettle, cooled to 37-38°C, and given to patients to drink within 15 minutes. Swallowing ability was monitored after the first sip; successful swallowing allowed the patient to continue. Patients were observed for 15 minutes with an aspirator on standby for aspiration risks. No complications occurred during the water drinking process in WG.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Descriptive Information Form:	The descriptive information form consisted of two parts. The first part comprised seven open-ended and five multiple-choice questions to determine the patients' descriptive characteristics. This part of the form was completed by the patients 1 day before surgery. The second part comprised nine multiple-choice questions aimed at determining the patients' surgical characteristics. This diagnostic information was provided by the researcher.	up to 18 weeks
Secondary	Postoperative Measurement and Evaluation Form:	The postoperative measurement and evaluation form included nine open-ended and seven multiple-choice questions designed to determine the vital signs and GI functions of the patients. Patients were evaluated during the postoperative period and the findings are presented in the relevant sections.	up to 18 weeks
