Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of the Difflam spray 0.3% with the sodium bicarbonate-normal saline spray on oral care for postoperative patients.
Methods: The participants were randomly allocated to either the Difflam (n=22) group or the saline solution (n=23) group. The data were collected at the 1-, 4-, 7-, and 10-hour marks after returning to the ward post operation using the Beck¡¯s subjective oral discomfort scale, Visual Analogue Scale for sore throat, and portable halitosis detector.
Results: The sore throat (F=7.25, p=.001) score significantly decreased after oral care using the Difflam spray 0.3%. However, the difference in the scores of oral comfort (F=0.34, p=.797) and halitosis (F=0.91, p=.443) between the two groups was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Difflam spray 0.3% is effective in improving postoperative sore throat. A further study that explores the effect of various oral solutions for postoperative patients is needed to present systemic and effective evidence-based oral care guidelines.
