Arm Description

Drink 30-50ML of normal temperature water after meeting the PACU transfer out standard. If the patient swallows successfully and does not cough, after returning to the ward, the medical staff of the ward will guide him or her to resume drinking and eating early: patient will resume drinking water within one hour after returning to the ward, a small amount of water for many times until the amount of drinking water reaches 300ml. If the patient does not have discomfort symptoms, he or she will resume eating according to normal drinking and eating habits.

Drink 30-50ML of normal temperature water after 6h after the operation. A small amount of water can be used several times, and the amount of water can reach 300ml. If the patient does not have any discomfort symptoms, it can guide the patient to recover diet according to his/her normal eating habits.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

QoR-15 score on the first day after surgery
Using QoR-15 questionnaire to evaluate the quality of perioperative recovery. QoR-15 consists of 15 comprehensive questions, including physical comfort (5 items), psychological support (2 items), physical independence (2 items), emotional state (4 items), and pain (2 items), each item is scored with 0-10 points, 0 represents poor state, 10 represents good state, and the total score is the QoR-15 score of the patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures

QoR-15 score on the day of discharge
Using QoR-15 questionnaire to evaluate the quality of perioperative recovery. QoR-15 consists of 15 comprehensive questions, including physical comfort (5 items), psychological support (2 items), physical independence (2 items), emotional state (4 items), and pain (2 items), each item is scored with 0-10 points, 0 represents poor state, 10 represents good state, and the total score is the QoR-15 score of the patient.
Patient satisfaction
The overall satisfaction of the patients during hospitalization was scored immediately before the patients were discharged from the hospital. The patients were scored according to 0-10 points, 0 being completely dissatisfied and 10 being completely satisfied.
Postoperative pain
The patients were given self-evaluation before the first drinking water and 8 hours after the operation. They were divided into pharyngeal pain and surgical incision pain, which were scored according to 0-10 points respectively. 0 point was completely painless, and 10 point was unbearable pain.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is a single-center, prospective and randomized controlled study to investigate the effects of early recovery of oral intake (E) and late recovery of oral intake (L) on postoperative recovery quality and satisfaction of patients undergoing thyroid surgery. The study's primary outcome is quality of recovery-15 scale (Qor-15).
Detailed Description
The subjects of this study are patients who will receive thyroid surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After the patient is included in the experiment, when the patient meets the exit criteria of the PACU, the patient will be randomly assigned to early resumption of oral intake group and late resumption of oral intake group to receive different treatments. Finally, researchers will collecte and evaluate the different outcome indicators of the two groups of patients.

7. Study Design

Primary Purpose
Supportive Care
Study Phase
Not Applicable
Interventional Study Model
Parallel Assignment
Model Description
Randomized controlled trial:Participants who enroll in RCTs differ from one another in known and unknown ways that can influence study outcomes, and yet cannot be directly controlled. By randomly allocating participants among compared treatments, an RCT enables statistical control over these influences. Provided it is designed well, conducted properly, and enrolls enough participants, an RCT may achieve sufficient control over these confounding factors to deliver a useful comparison of the treatments studied.
Masking
InvestigatorOutcomes Assessor
Masking Description
The anesthesiologists will obtain the group of patients through computer randomization before the patients leave the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, and guide the patients to drink water. The questionnaire collectors and outcomes assessor will not be informed of the group of patients.
