Brief Summary:
This is an experimental study aimed at exploring the effectiveness of using 4°C frozen gauze with normal saline for relieving dry mouth and thirst in patients with endotracheal tubes.
Detailed Description:
Long-term placement of endotracheal tubes often causes discomfort, including lip ulcers, laryngeal pain, and dry oral mucosa, leading to frequent complaints of dry mouth and thirst among conscious patients. However, these symptoms are commonly overlooked in the nursing process, resulting in emotional distress and irritability in patients. Although healthcare providers recognize the issue of dry mouth and thirst in patients with endotracheal tubes, effective management is challenging due to concerns about treatment limitations, aspiration pneumonia, and the risk of coughing or vomiting. This experimental study aims to explore the effectiveness of using 4°C frozen gauze soaked in normal saline to relieve dry mouth and thirst in patients with endotracheal tubes.
