An interventional study of Oral hydration in Anesthesia and Intubation Complication, sponsored by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 70 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-07.
Sponsored by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and feasibility of early oral hydration in patients receiving video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery after general anesthesia. The main questions aims to answer:
Participants will receive a series of oral hydration from swab moistening, and ice cube hydration to water hydration in the recovery room. Researchers will compare with the standard, no-hydration group to see if it is safe and feasible to hydrate patients in the recovery room.
Anesthesiologists assess the removal of the endotracheal tube post-surgery and the patient is then transferred to the recovery room for rest. The principal investigator will evaluate the consciousness status and risk of nausea and vomiting to confirm eligibility for the trial. Subsequently, the following grouping will be conducted:
Experimental group
Evaluate the level of throat pain using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) score, the incidence, timing, frequency of post-operative nausea and vomiting, the level of mouth dryness, the satisfaction of patients in recovery room, and the vital signs.
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital is the lead sponsor of 1,064 studies on the registry; 235 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
wet swab-ice cube-small amount of water
Behavioral: Oral hydration
According to routine care, no oral fluid supplementation is provided.
* Researchers moisten the patient's throat with a wet cotton swab. If no nausea or vomiting occurs after five minutes, proceed to the next stage. * Provide an ice cube of potable water for the patient to hold in their mouth. If no nausea or vomiting occurs after ten minutes, proceed to the next stage. * Offer 10-20ml of potable water for the patient to drink under medical supervision. If no nausea or vomiting occurs and the patient requests more water, administer 10-20ml every ten minutes, assessing for any adverse effects each time. The total water intake should not exceed 500ml.
