Overview

Clinical trial compares ice chips and water spray in reducing thirst and dry mouth in hemodialysis patients, suggesting ice chips may be more effective.

Key Points

  • Ice chips significantly reduce thirst severity and discomfort in hemodialysis patients compared to water spray.
  • In patients receiving ice chips, mean thirst severity decreased from 4.86 to 3.76, indicating significant relief.
  • This observational study involved 90 patients, randomized into groups receiving ice chips, water spray, or no intervention.
  • Findings highlight the importance of effective thirst management strategies in chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis.
