Sore Throat

One of the most common complications after endotracheal intubation is sore throat Lidocaine jelly or spray, preoperative gargles with licorice or ketamine or I.V steroids used for prophylaxis against POST are expensive ,and having much more side effects,but nebulized lidocaine is easily found with decreasing cost ,easily administered ,acts immediately with short duration ,minimal side effects ,and no term residual side effects. Nebulized ketamine was found to have a protective effect on allergen-induced airway inflammatory injury , high airway reactivity ,and decreasing postoperative sore throat (POST) incidence . Magnesium sulfate is similar to ketamine in blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors.

PharyngitisEndotracheal Intubation1 more

Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common problem following the use of endotracheal intubation during general anaesthesia. It leads to dissatisfaction and discomfort after surgery and can delay a patient's return to normal routine activities. POST has been rated by patients as the eighth most adverse effect in the postoperative period. The incidence of sore throat after endotracheal intubation varies from 14.4-90%. Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation also leads to hemodynamic stress response. The response can be deleterious in patient with or without cardiac disease. It is related to the degree of manipulation of the airway during endotracheal intubation and has been studied during intubation for some equipment used for endotracheal intubation

Mucosal Injury Using Pharyngeal Packing

Sore Throat

After approval of the Institutional Review Board and written patient´s informed consent patients with indication for surgery of the sinuses were randomly assigned to one of the two study groups. After standardized anaesthetic management and PONV prophylaxis routinely applied the patients were screened for mucosal injury on second postoperative day. Furthermore, the amount of analgetic and anti-emetic drugs and the severity of pain and PONV were recorded throughout the hospital stay.

Does Strepsils® With Lignocaine Lozenges Reduce Post Operative Sore Throat Due To Supraglottic Airway...

Sore ThroatPost Operative Sore Throat

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of preoperative administration of oral Strepsils® with added Lignocaine lozenges on the incidence of postoperative sore throat (POST) after general anaesthesia using a Supraglottic Airway Device (SAD). Patients undergoing surgery with general anaesthesia will require ventilation of their lungs with either a flexible tube placed beyond the voice box called an endotracheal tube (ETT) or a tube placed above the voice box called a Supraglottic Airway Device. This tube helps oxygenate the patient and delivers anaesthetic gas to the lungs. The procedure is invasive and uncomfortable, and one of the most common complaints is a sore and inflamed throat after the tube is taken out. This is termed postoperative sore throat (POST). The incidence of POST after SAD is comparable with the ETT and though many studies have focused on ETT, few have examined the SAD. After written informed consent is received in pre-op, a sealed and coded envelope with either the Strepsils lozenges or the placebo lozenges will be given to the patient to be administered orally, with the instruction to dissolve the lozenge by sucking on it 45 minutes prior to surgery. Upon completion of surgery and emergence from general anaesthesia, the patient will be assessed regarding the incidence and severity of sore throat, difficulty in swallowing and difficulty in speaking by the investigator using an interview format. The severity of these symptoms will be graded on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3; 0 being no symptoms, 1 being mild symptoms, 2 being moderate symptoms, and 3 being severe symptoms. This evaluation will be performed at 30 minutes and 24 hours post removal of SAD.
