Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Cold vapor application is considered a promising intervention with the potential to alleviate side effects associated with anesthesia and surgery in the postoperative period. This study aims to determine the effect of cold vapor inhalation on dyspnea, thirst, nausea, and physiological parameters following laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery. Hypotheses (H1); H1a: Patients administered cold vapor will report lower dyspnea severity compared to the control group. H1b: Patients administered cold vapor will report lower thirst levels compared to the control group. H1c: Patients administered cold vapor will report lower nausea severity compared to the control group. H1d: Patients administered cold vapor will show significant differences in physiological parameters compared to the control group.
