Brief Summary

Thirst is defined as the desire to drink water. The perception and satiation of thirst constitute an interconnected network of neuronal, physiological and hormonal mechanisms that act simultaneously. In the oropharyngeal cavity are ionic channels called Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 stimulated by cold temperatures and menthol, which aid in the control and decrease of the thirst intensity for providing refreshment and satiety without, however, the necessity of fluid intake In high amounts.

Conditions

Thirst; Perioperative Nursing

Keywords

Surgical Patient; Menthol; Clinical Study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Intensity of thirst

  Measured from zero to ten, where zero is no thirst and ten worst thirst.

  Measured at the beginning of the survey. For the experimental group, this measurement was measured again 20 minutes after tasting the menthol popsicle. For the control group, this measure was re-measured 20 minutes after the randomization.

• Discomfort of thirst.

  Measured according to the Perioperative Headquarters Discomfort Scale (EDESP). The final EDESP score ranges from zero to 14 points, 14 of which correspond to the most intense discomfort related to the perioperative seat.

  Measured at the beginning of the survey. For the experimental group, this measurement was measured again 20 minutes after tasting the menthol popsicle. For the control group, this measure was re-measured 20 minutes after the randomization.

Study Arms (2)

Menthol Popsicle

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient will be questioned when the intensity and discomfort of thirst. After randomization, the patient assigned to the experimental group will experience a menthol popsicle. After 20 minutes of the end of the popsicle, will again be questioned as to the intensity and discomfort of thirst. The popsicle will have a support that will assist the patient in the administration of the intervention, giving him autonomy and safety in the application of the intervention.

Other: Menthol Popsicle

Usual care

NO INTERVENTION

The patient will be questioned when the intensity and discomfort of thirst. After randomization, the patient assigned to the control group should receive the usual care consisting of absolute fasting the food and drinks.
