Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of different intervention methods on relieving the xerostomia and to explore the best method to relieve xerostomia in patients during anesthesia recovery period.Methods A total of 108 patients in post anesthesia care unit after general anesthesia were recruited from March 2015 to June 2016 in Chinese PLA General Hospital.They were randomly divided into the experimental group 1 (27 cases),experimental group 2 (26 cases),condition conditional group (28 cases),blank control group (27 cases) with different methods of moistening oral cavity after extubation with 2 ml at a time for every 10 minutes including lemon water sprayer,vitamin C sprayer,warm water sprayer and non-intervention.And then,the visual analogue scale (VAS) for the intensity of xerostomia and the prevalence of adverse reactions including nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,abdominal distension and so on were compared before intervention,20 minutes and 50 minutes after intervention.Results The results showed that the scores of VAS in the experimental group 1 were lower than those in the experimental group 2,the conditional control group and the blank control group 20 minutes and 50 minutes after intervention with significant differences [(Dunnett-t =-1.200,-1.733,-1.733;P＜ 0.01;20 minutes after intervention),(Dunnett-t =-2.150,-2.500,-5.567;P＜0.01;50minutes after intervention)].Conclusions The application of the lemon water sprayer for moistening oral cavity can effectively relieve the xerostomia in patients during anesthesia recovery period.Besides,the effects of the lemon water sprayer are better than those of vitamin C sprayer and warm water sprayer.
