  one day

Study Arms (4)

İce Pieces İmpregnated Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Impregnation of pieces of ice was delivered to us; one ice cube is planned after wearing and movements automatically by the throat purchase to exit use and sound program, and move with one ice cube after movement. It can be used after extubation. It is in sound class with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for the use of customers before and after the application. Extubation is in the last 0. hours, no small application is made, only in sound class with VAS. Evaluated by Stout's Hoarseness Scale

Green Tea Gargle Solution Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

To the patients included in the gargle group with green tea; four after, six after eigth after hours after extubation, the patients of the intervention group were asked to gargle 30 cc of green tea and before the application and after the patient's oral intake was requested by the physician to prevent sore throat and hoarseness afterwards, patients' sore throat is measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and hoarseness is measured with Stout's Hoarseness Scale. At the 0. th hour after extubation, no treatment is applied to the patients, only sore throat is evaluated with VAS and hoarseness is evaluated with Stout's Hoarseness Scale.0

Arnica Montana Tea Gargle Solution Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

To the patients included in the gargle group with arnica montana tea; four after, six after eigth after hours after extubation, the patients of the intervention group were asked to gargle 30 cc of arnica montana tea and before the application and after the patient's oral intake was requested by the physician to prevent sore throat and hoarseness afterwards, patients' sore throat is measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and hoarseness is measured with Stout's Hoarseness Scale. At the 0th hour after extubation, no treatment is applied to the patients, only sore throat is evaluated with VAS and hoarseness is evaluated with Stout's Hoarseness Scale.

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in the control group; sore throat and hoarseness scores at 0 hour immediately after extubation,to collect at 4, 6 and 8 hours after extubation, sore throat (Visual Analogue Scale) VAS; Stout s Voice if hoarseness It is evaluated with the Slightness Scale.

Interventions

Comparıson OTHER

Only evaluation will be made at 0, 4, 6, and 8 hours after surgery without intervention in the control group. For other groups; Evaluation will be made at the 0th hour after the operation without application. The application will be made at the 4th, 6th, and 8th hours after the surgery and the resulting pain and hoarseness will be evaluated.
