In response to concerns raised by nursing staff about forcing children to drink following tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T & A), a study was conducted to test for adequacy of hydration. Seventy-four children admitted to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, for T & A surgery were randomly assigned to two groups: the first forced to drink after surgery according to the hospital's nursing care plan, the second given control over fluid intake. A significant difference in fluid adequacy was found between the groups 6 hours after return from the recovery room but none at 8 hours. As a result, fluid management of children after T & A surgery has been changed so that they are encouraged rather than forced to drink.
针对护理人员提出的关于扁桃体切除术和腺样体切除术（T&A）后强迫儿童饮水的担忧，开展了一项研究以检测水合作用是否充足。74名入住多伦多病童医院接受T&A手术的儿童被随机分为两组：第一组按照医院护理计划在术后强迫饮水，第二组可自主控制液体摄入量。从恢复室返回6小时后，两组在液体充足程度上存在显著差异，但8小时后无差异。因此，T&A手术后儿童的液体管理方式已发生改变，鼓励而非强迫他们饮水。
