Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Nasal steam therapyRoutine management strategy

Nasal steam therapy: Nasal steam therapy is performed once a every other day for a total of 3three times. The steam inhalation stimulates the acupoints of bilateral LI20, EX-HN8, and EX-HN9

Routine management strategy: Depending on the patient's symptoms and degree of improvement, the clinician may utilize all drugs currently used in clinical practice to improve upper respiratory symptoms, if necessary. All drugs that fall under the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC) codes of non-disease treatment (R01), throat disease treatment (R02), lung disease or expectorant (R03, R05), and other respiratory organ drugs (R06, R07) and other drugs. The usage and dosage should be within the range of the current clinical guidelines.

Study summary

The effect of symptom improvement of nasal steam strategy compared to routine management strategy for upper respiratory symptoms occurring after endotracheal intubation in patients aged 19 years or older who underwent surgical removal under anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation was evaluated by the difference in the results of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Wisconsin upper respiratory symptom survey-24, WURSS-24 — From enrollment to the end of treatment at Day 8, and follow up visit at Day 15
    WURSS is a questionnaire mainly used to evaluate symptoms of acute upper respiratory tract infection, and is divided into WURSS-11, WURSS-21, WURSS-24, WURSS-44, and WURSS-Kids versions. In this study, WURSS-24 will be used to evaluate the degree of daily symptom improvement by dividing it into items of symptoms, quality of life, and overall satisfaction, and 24 questions on a 7-point Likert scale. The most severe level is evaluated as 7 points, the least level as 1 point, and in the case of symptoms and quality of life that may be lost, 0 points are additionally recorded when the symptoms are lost.
