Drinking Warm Water Intervention

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.
