Prevalence and factors associated with thirst in children after congenital heart disease surgery: a cross-sectional study
The prevalence of thirst among children after CHD surgery was notably high and severe. CPB time, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of water fasting, APACHE-II score, and mYPAS independently influence the severity of thirst. Healthcare professionals should proactively assess the severity of thirst, incorporate the identified influencing factors into the development of targeted thirst management protocols, and initiate timely interventions.
