Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study will to evaluate the degree of postoperative sore throat and Life Impairment changes in patients with sleep apnea who underwent da Vinci robotic arm surgery as an intervention of oral cryotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An experimental study was conducted with 32 patients in the experimental group and 32 patients in the control group. The experimental group used drinking water from a water dispenser with regular filter replacement and maintenance, plus a 2x5x7 cm (50 ml) ice lolly module to make ice lollies,and then intervened in the postsurgical period using oral cold therapy (ice lolly in the mouth),while the control group received general routine care. The control group received regular care. The assessment tools included the Pain Profile Scale and the Life Impairment Scale, and the assessment period was from the first day to the 14th day after the operation.
