Aim: Assess the action time of a single ice popsicle on the intensity and discomfort of thirst in the immediate postoperative period. Method: This is a quantitative, quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test study, with a non-probabilistic sample of 63 adult patients in the immediate postoperative period. The 10 milliliter ice popsicle was administered to patients approved in the Safety Protocol for Thirst Management (SPTM), who were questioned every 10 minutes until completing 40 minutes about the intensity and discomfort of thirst, according to the visual numerical scale and the Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale. Results: The average intensity of thirst was 8.54, and the discomfort 6.76. After 10 minutes of popsicle administration, the average decreased to 4.92 and 3.71, respectively. There was a significant difference in the intensity and discomfort of thirst at different times (p<0.05) up to 30 minutes. Conclusions: The administration of a single 10 milliliter ice popsicle is sufficient to significantly reduce the intensity and discomfort of the surgical patient's thirst for 30 minutes. These findings require a reflection on the practices performed in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit, prioritizing the effective and humanized care of the surgical patient.
