Thirst Relief Effect of 0.75% Citric Acid Spray During the Anesthesia Recovery Period: A Randomized Controlled Trial

CONCLUSION: For thirsty patients during the anesthesia recovery period, the spray method is safe and has fewer side effects, including choking, aspiration, and allergies. Thus, 0.75% citric acid spray and cool water spray are both safe and effective; however, the 0.75% citric acid spray has a better thirst relief effect that lasts longer than the cool water spray.PMID:34340880 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2021.01.008
