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.

Primary | intensity of thirst | Alteration in the evaluation of the final intensity of thirst in relation to the evaluation of the initial intensity of thirst [10 minutes]. For evaluation of the intensity of thirst, a Verbal Numeral Scale (VNS) was used, with a range from 0 (no thirst) to 10 (very intense thirst), as reported by the patients when questioned. | 10 minutes | |
Secondary | discomfort of thirst | Alteration in the evaluation of the final discomfort of thirst in relation to the evaluation of the initial discomfort of thirst [10 minutes]. The Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale (PTDS) was used to evaluate the discomfort of the thirst.This scale is composed of 7 attributes that evaluate the signs of discomfort of perioperative thirst, as follows: dry mouth, dry lips, thick tongue, thick saliva, bad taste in the mouth, and desire to drink water. Each attribute varies between 0 (no inconvenience), 1 (a little inconvenient), and 2 (very inconvenient). The final sum of the PTDS can range from 0 to 14 points. | 10 minutes |
