Filter by:Surgical patients, and especially bariatric patients, are high-risk patients who may develop thirst due to intubation, blood loss, osmotic imbalance, and prolonged fasting. Nurses often have the perception that when the patient's oral intake is turned off, nothing can be done to prevent thirst and dry mouth. Thirst is one of the main stress factors that reduces the comfort of intensive care patients. So far, no assessment has been routinely used to assess thirst and dry mouth. However, thirst is a mitigable symptom that should be evaluated by the nurse.
Today, surgical applications are used to solve many health problems. In order for the surgical intervention to take place, anesthesia applications are often required. Complications such as sore throat, thirst and nausea and vomiting may occur as a result of trauma, local irritation and inflammation of the airway mucosa during anesthesia and tracheal intubation. These complications are in the postoperative period; It may cause delayed oral fluid intake, prolonged dehydration, oral odour, and increased risk of aspiration, hematoma and wound dehiscence due to retching and vomiting, all of which may lead to delayed discharge and increased cost. Aromatherapy, one of the non-pharmacological applications, is frequently applied in reducing postoperative complications and its effectiveness is stated. In this study, the aromatic solution applied after the surgery; It was planned to examine the effect on sore throat, thirst, nausea-vomiting. In addition, the multimodal synergistic effect of lavender oil and ginger oil used in the aromatic solution to be prepared will be utilized. As a result of this study, the effectiveness of the aromatic solution application to be applied to the patients in the postoperative period and the benefits and benefits of the patient's recovery process will be determined. Thus, effective application can be made for the entire postoperative period. It is thought that this study to be conducted will be a guide for future studies on the patient group.
The study is a randomised controlled trial that aims to evaluate whether carbohydrate loading pre-endoscopy can improve patients' overall satisfaction and is not associated with negative impact on endoscopic quality or increased complications. A questionnaire will be completed by participants prior to endoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to Using saliva stimulation to immediately improve heart failure inpatient's thirst sensation.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chewing xylitol gum on thirst, dry mouth and nausea in patients undergoing haemodialysis.Patients undergoing haemodialysis often experience thirst, dry mouth and nausea.This was a prospective, non-randomized experimental study involving a control group. The study was carried out with patients undergoing haemodialysis in a private dialysis centre in the northeast of Turkey between July and December 2018. It was completed with a total of 75 patients assigned to the gum group (n=25), mouth spray group (n=25), and control group (n=25).The patients in the gum group chewed xylitol gum for 10 minutes, five times a day for six weeks. Patients in the mouth spray group used two puffs of mouth spray three times a day. No intervention was made in the control group. Data were collected with the Patient Information Form, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Visual Analogue Scale, Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching, graduated tube, and pH meter. Data were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U, Pearson Chi-square, Kruskal Wallis and Friedman tests. TREND checklist for non-randomised controlled trials was followed.
It is reported that approximately 17.5 million people die worldwide each year due to cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and rheumatic heart disease. The most preferred method in the treatment of coronary artery disease is Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. This procedure routinely requires general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. Patients due to these practices often experience nausea-vomiting and thirst after extubation. It is stated that menthol application, which is a low cost, easy to apply and safe method, can be effective in the management of these complications. As a result of the literature review, there is no study evaluating the effectiveness of the menthol lozenge in quenching thirst after extubation and in the management of nausea and vomiting. In this study, it is aimed to develop methods that accelerate the postoperative recovery by proving the effect of oral menthol lozenge intake after extubation on thirst, nausea-vomiting, physiological parameters and comfort level in patients undergoing CABG surgery. The universe of this randomized controlled study was planned by Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital will create patients who underwent CABG surgery. His sample, on the same dates, was Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital will create a total of 118 patients hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Surgery (Postoperative) Intensive Care Unit and undergoing CABG surgery that meet the inclusion criteria. Participants will be divided into two equal groups as intervention (n = 59) and control (n = 59) groups. Patient Information Form, Intraoperative Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for evaluation of thirst and nausea-vomiting, Physiological Parameter Control Form, Analgesic-Antiemetic Use Control Form, General Comfort Scale Short Form will be used for data collection. The intervention group will be given a lozenge containing menthol orally at the 30th, 60th and 90th minutes after extubation. Thirst, nausea-vomiting, physiological parameters, analgesic and antiemetic consumption and comfort levels of all patients will be evaluated. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods using the SPSS for Windows 22.0 program (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).
The primary objective of the study is to test whether the tested Product LACIME Anti-hangover is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover (such as headache, impaired memory, depression, anxiety, weakness, trouble sleeping and concentrating, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, thirsty, dry mouth, sweating, sensitivity to light and sounds, vision problems) in healthy subjects.
Thirst is defined as the desire for water seeking and consumption, and is a prevalent symptom in the immediate postoperative period in all age groups. The elderly surgical patient, despite presenting reduced physiological responses to thirst and satiety, in clinical practice, it is observed that they have high thirst intensity. There is evidence that strategies using cold temperatures are effective in quenching thirst of the surgical patient, for this reason, the present study is justified, in order to find strategies that help to reduce thirst in this specific population that is the elderly surgical patient.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of an Intervention Bundle on Thirst Intensity and Dry Mouth among Patients admitted in ICUs. Patients were randomized into two groups - Experimental and Control group. Experimental group received intervention Bundle whereas control group didn't receive any intervention. Usual care was continued in both the groups.
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of menthol chewing gum compared to maintained fasting (usual care) in reducing the intensity of the surgical patient's thirst during the preoperative period. The hypothesis of the study was that the use of menthol chewing gum in surgical patients in the preoperative period would be more effective than the maintenance of fasting with regard to the decrease in thirst and its discomforts.
