The Effects of Preoperatively Chewing Gum on Sore Throat After General Anaesthesia With a Laryngeal...

Postoperative Sore Throat

Postoperative sore throat (POST) is an important problem after general anaesthesia. We assessed whether chewing gum preoperatively can reduce the incidence of POST after general anaesthesia administered via a streamlined liner of the pharyngeal airway (SLIPA).

Detection of GABHS in Throat Gargle

Group A Streptococcus: B Hemolytic Pharyngitis

The objective of this study is to investigate the use of patient throat gargle as an alternative to throat swabbing for the diagnosis of pharyngitis caused by Group A β-Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) infection, also known as strep throat.

LMA Cuff Pressure and LMA-induced Complications

Sore ThroatDysphagia1 more

The purpose of this study is to determine if using 20 mL B.Braun syringes to inflate LMAs and allowing them to recoil will put the pressure of the LMA cuff within the safety range. It will also determine if remaining within this safety range has an effect on complications after surgery..

Impact of Blades Used for Scheduled Orotracheal Intubation on Postoperative Sore Throat

Tracheal Intubation MorbiditySore Throat

Orotracheal intubation following general anesthesia requires blades to be performed. The risk of patients contamination with infectious agents related to reusable metal blades leads to promote single-use blades. Some of these latter are plastic and this material may need more strength to lift the jaw and expose the larynx before orotracheal intubation. Sometimes, change of blade, from plastic to metal, during the procedure is necessary to increase the larynx exposure. This change of blade may increase the frequency of sore throat following orotracheal intubation. Consequently, the study hypothesis is an increase of both sore throat intensity and frequency with the plastic blades compared with the metal blades. The primary purpose of the present study is to compare the impact of these two types of blades, metal versus plastic, on sore throat intensity and frequency following scheduled orotracheal intubation for general anesthesia

Clinical Evaluation of QFlu Combo Test

CoughMyalgia5 more

Currently effective antivials for influenza treatment are two influenza viral neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Resistance to these drugs is reflected by reduced susceptibility of viral neuraminidase to these drugs. The hypothesis is that the signal ratio of two reagents (with or without a single concentration of the drug) correlates the IC50 value, an accurate measurement of drug resistance but impractical for clinical use.

Digital Online Consultations - Effects on Antibiotic Prescribing and Health Care Utilization in...

Sore ThroatDysuria3 more

BACKGROUND/SIGNIFICANCE: With developments in mobile health and the abundance of smartphones, online consultations have emerged as a popular form of primary care in Sweden. Controversy exists regarding diagnostic accuracy, appropriate prescription of antibiotics, and effects on care-seeking patient behavior following implementation of online consultations. As empirical research is lacking, the investigators seek to evaluate online primary care consultations compared to physical consultations with regards to non-inferiority of antibiotic prescription for chief complaint of sore throat. METHODS: Medical record data is used to identify patients with a chief complaint of sore throat, cough/common cold/influenza, or dysuria after choosing online (DIGI) or physical (PHYSI) consultations. A cohort of patients with similar chief complaints prior to implementation of online consultations was used as a control group (CONTROL). Prospective data from local registries and medical records was gathered 14 days the consultation. The primary outcome was rate of antibiotic prescription after sore throat. Secondary outcomes included patient revisits (including hospital admissions), patient satisfaction, time to physician contact, registered diagnosis, and documentation or Centor Criteria and Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)-Criteria. SIGNIFICANCE: Results will shed light on whether antibiotic prescription differs significantly between digital and physical primary care consultations. Hypotheses may also be generated as to how patients seek care in light of improved availability in a tax-sponsored healthcare system.

Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Protector for Minimally Invasive Thyroidectomy

Sore ThroatDysphagia1 more

The patients will be allocated to 2 groups: the LMA group and the endotracheal tube (ET) group. Airway management will be done with the LMA Protector for the patients of the LMA group and with the classic endotracheal tube for the patients of the ET group. The main purpose of the study is to determine if the application of the LMA Protector causes less laryngopharyngeal symptoms than the endotracheal tube after minimally invasive thyroidectomy. The secondary purpose is to confirm that the LMA Protector is a safe alternative airway management device for minimally invasive thyroidectomy.
