Purpose: This study researched the comparison of oral care methods between the wet gauze and the water gargling for nasal surgery patients. It executed to find out more effective method to relieve thirst.
Method: We divided two groups; the wet gauze and the cold water gargling. We assessed patient s oral cavity state and subjective oral dryness for three times; firstly before the intervention, secondly 15 minutes after 1st intervention and thirdly 15 minutes after 2nd intervention.
Result: As the intervention advances, there was no difference on oral condition subjectively, but there was a difference on thirsty reduction objectively. As the oral dryness has relieved through both methods. It showed the repeated gargling helps more to relieve oral dryness effectively than the wet gauge. At PACU, post nasal surgery patient’s oral dryness was decreased with the wet gauze and the cold water gargling both. Interestingly, when we were applied the wet gauze more than two times, patient’s oral dryness was relieved. Whereas the dryness was relieved after applying the cold water gargling for just one time.
Conclusion: The water gargling is more effective intervention than the wet gauze. Especially, oral dryness was improved in the section of objective oral assessment index.
