Description
Sogand Sarmadi and co-authors wrote a 2025 review of ways to ease the intense thirst patients feel right after surgery. Thirst is common in the first hours after an operation, when drinking freely is often barred. Mouth stimulants, such as ice, sprays, or menthol, are the main tool nurses reach for.
The team searched six databases for randomized trials of oral stimulants in the immediate recovery period, with no language limits. They combined the trial results to judge how much these simple measures cut thirst. A firm answer helps recovery wards pick cheap comforts that work, rather than relying on habit or guesswork.
