About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effect of Drinking Warm Water on the Gastrointestinal System Functions of Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Objective: The study was carried out to determine the effect of drinking warm water on GIS functions in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Read the detailed description

Method: The research was completed in Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl City Hospital with 100 patients, 50 of whom were in the Study Group (WG) and 50 were in the Control Group (KG). The patients in CG were given warm water to drink at the 2nd hour after surgery. On the other hand, patients in KG were allowed to drink warm water after bowel sounds started and gas was produced. Patients in both groups were 2,4,8,12 after surgery. hours were evaluated in terms of GIS functions. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS 22.0 for Windows package program. A p<0.05 value was accepted for statistical significance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drinking Warm Water InterventionOther

    Patients in the Warm Water Group (WG) received a warm water drinking intervention post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Before intake, the bed head was elevated to 45°C, and gagging and swallowing reflexes were assessed using an Abeslang to touch the oropharynx. Nausea indicated a positive reflex. Two patients with negative reflexes were excluded from WG. To maintain water temperature, individual insulated cups with thermal features were used, preventing infection transmission. Water was boiled in a clinic kettle, cooled to 37-38°C, and given to patients to drink within 15 minutes. Swallowing ability was monitored after the first sip; successful swallowing allowed the patient to continue. Patients were observed for 15 minutes with an aspirator on standby for aspiration risks. No complications occurred during the water drinking process in WG.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupsNo interventionRoutine treatment and care of patients in the CG was continued. The onset of bowel sounds and flatus requires the initiation of oral fluid and nutrient intake. Patients in the CG were evaluated at T0, T1, T2, and T3, and data were recorded on a data collection form.
Wather GroupsExperimentalPatients in the WG were provided warm water at the 2nd postoperative hour on the day of surgery. Patients in the WG were evaluated at T0, T1, T2, and T3 and data were recorded on a data collection form. The onset of bowel sounds and flatus requires the initiation of oral fluid and nutrient intake. No other water or food was provided to patients who had no bowel sounds or flatus other than warm water.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Descriptive Information Form:

    The descriptive information form consisted of two parts. The first part comprised seven open-ended and five multiple-choice questions to determine the patients' descriptive characteristics. This part of the form was completed by the patients 1 day before surgery. The second part comprised nine multiple-choice questions aimed at determining the patients' surgical characteristics. This diagnostic information was provided by the researcher.

    Measured: up to 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative Measurement and Evaluation Form:

    The postoperative measurement and evaluation form included nine open-ended and seven multiple-choice questions designed to determine the vital signs and GI functions of the patients. Patients were evaluated during the postoperative period and the findings are presented in the relevant sections.

    Measured: up to 18 weeks

Model description
This single-center randomized controlled study, conducted between January 15 and May 15, 2022, comprised 100 patients equally divided into the Water Group (WG) and Control Group (CG). Patients in the WG were allowed to take warm water orally during the 2nd postoperative hour without waiting for the onset of bowel sounds or flatus while those in the CG were not. GI functions were evaluated at 2, 4, 8, and 12 postoperative hours and the findings were recorded.
