Abstract
Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of drinking Small amount water among adult patients with general anesthesia after operation. Methods A total of 200 adult patients with general anesthesia in post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) were divided into observation group (PACU routine nursing with giving a small amount of water care early) and control group (PACU routine nursing care) each 100 cases according to random number table method. We compared the degree of dry mouth changes, recovery satisfaction, incidence of vomiting aspiration and rate of drinking water again. Results The score of dry mouth in the observation group (7.51±1.48) significantly higher than that in the control group (1.39±1.20) with statistical difference (t=32.12, P 0.05). Observation group for recovery satisfaction score (92.35±2.64), significantly higher than the control group in recovery satisfaction score (67.94±7.46). The difference was statistically significant (t=30.85, P 0.05). Conclusions Adult postoperative patients with general anesthesia drink early are safe and feasible.
