Cold vapor will be applied to the prone position experimental group patients for 15 minutes in the recovery room. For the study, Nebtime UN600A Ultrasonic Nebulizer Device will be used to apply cold steam to the patients which used in the hospital and calibrated (https://elmaslarmedikal.com.tr/urunler/nebtimeun600aultrasonik-nebulizator/). The parameters to be set on the device for the cold vapor to be applied to the patients in the early postoperative period will be vapor intensity level 5 (1-10), air blowing intensity 5 (1-10), heater intensity 1 (+10C), and timer 15 minutes. The patients will be evaluated by the researchers in terms of sore throat, cough, hoarseness, and dysphagia before and 15 minutes after the cold vapor application in the recovery room and at the 6th, 12th, and 24th hours after the cold vapor application in the postoperative service. In addition, the comfort levels of the patients will be evaluated at the 24th postoperative hour.

In addition, the comfort levels of the patients will be evaluated at the 24th postoperative hour.
Patients in the prone position control group will receive standard care that includes all medical and non-medical treatments in the hospital. Nursing care, which is routinely applied to patients in the postoperative period, both in the recovery room and in the service, will be continued within the standard care. The patients will be evaluated by the researchers in terms of sore throat, cough, hoarseness, and dysphagia when they come to the recovery room and at the 6th,12th, and 24th hours after the surgery in the postoperative service. In addition, the comfort levels of the patients will be evaluated at the 24th postoperative hour.
