Abstract: The thirst symptom management is a thirsty nursing implementation framework composed of symptom management theory combined with nursing interventions,and a method to provide high quality nursing for thirst of critically ill patients. This article reviews the pathogenesis of thirst in critically ill patients,risk factors and symptom management strategies. Symptom management strategies mainly include 6W2H,palliative care and safety management interventions.
