Summary

The purpose of this study is to Using saliva stimulation to immediately improve heart failure inpatient's thirst sensation.

Detailed description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomize in a double-blind manner (participant and researcher) in a 1:1 ratio to experimental group (lemonade ice cubes) or the control group (water ice cubes).

Conditions

• Heart Failure
• Thirst
• Saliva

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	lemonade ice cubes	Mixing 1 part lemon juice and 6 parts boiling water, make 10ml lemonade ice cubes. The experimental group was given a 10ml lemonade ice cube. The ice cubes were weighed first and then given. The subjects were required to hold the lemonade ice cube in their mouths without breaking them, and not to swallow saliva. 45 seconds after the intervention is given, the nurse will use tweezers to take out the ice cube from the subject's mouth and weigh it , and then place the dry cotton swab at the opening of the sublingual gland in the oral cavity, take it out after 1 minute, and collect saliva, the recorded saliva volume = the collected saliva volume minus (10 ml ice cube weight minus the remaining ice cube weight); The experimental group was given a brand new 10ml lemonade ice cube. At 90 seconds, 135 seconds and 180 seconds, the above saliva collection method was repeated for a total of 5 times of saliva collection.
OTHER	water ice cubes	make 10ml water ice cubes. The control group was given a 10ml water ice cube. The ice cubes were weighed first and then given. The subjects were required to hold the water ice cube in their mouths without breaking them, and not to swallow saliva. 45 seconds after the intervention is given, the nurse will use tweezers to take out the ice cube from the subject's mouth and weigh it , and then place the dry cotton swab at the opening of the sublingual gland in the oral cavity, take it out after 1 minute, and collect saliva, the recorded saliva volume = the collected saliva volume minus (10 ml ice cube weight minus the remaining ice cube weight); The control group was given a brand new 10ml water ice cube. At 90 seconds, 135 seconds and 180 seconds, the above saliva collection method was repeated for a total of 5 times of saliva collection.
