Comparison of Licorice Versus Sugar-water Gargle for Prevention of Postoperative Sore Throat and...
Sore ThroatThe investigators propose to test the hypothesis that pre-operative gargling with licorice reduces the incidence of sore throat in rest after intubation with double-lumen endotracheal tubes compared to placebo after surgery through the first four post-extubation hours.

Clinical Evaluation of QFlu Combo Test
CoughMyalgia5 moreCurrently 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.

Effect of Intravenous Dynastat on Postoperative Sore Throat
Sore ThroatPostoperative ComplicationsA postoperative sore throat (POST) after tracheal intubation is one of the most common postoperative problems causing dissatisfaction to participants, including sore throat, dry throat, cough, sputum, hoarseness and even dysphagia. Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological measures have been attempted to alleviate the incidence and severity of POST with variable success. Airway inflammation may be important in the pathogenesis of these symptoms in intubated participants but however, there was still no study to investigate the effect of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) for the prevention of POST. So, the investigators' study will be the first one to investigate if perioperatively intravenous (IV) Dynastat injection can be used as a new indication for POST prevention.

Application of Ectoin Containing Lozenges (EHT02) in Patients With Acute, Viral Pharyngitis.
Acute Viral PharyngitisThe goal of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Ectoin Lozenges Honey Lemon (EHT02) compared to lozenges containing hyaluronic acid and islandic moss in the treatment of acute viral pharyngitis.

Thermosoftening of Double-lumen Tube for Airway Exchanger Catheter
Intubation ComplicationHoarseness1 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of double-lumen tube thermal-softening before intubation on the success rate of tube exchange by airway exchange catheter.

Comparative Effectiveness of Antibiotics for Respiratory Infections
Acute Otitis MediaAcute Sinusitis1 moreThe purpose of this study is to identify and use patient centered outcomes to compare narrow-spectrum and broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of common acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children.

Effect of Lidocaine 1% and 2% in the Tube Cuff on Postoperative Sore Throat and Cough
Postoperative Sore ThroatPostoperative CoughComparing the effect of different methods of endotracheal tube cuff inflation on the occurrence of a postoperative sore throat and cough (Air vs Lidocaine 1% vs Lidocaine 2%).

Nebulized Lidocaine to Prevent Cough at Emergence From Anesthesia
CoughGeneral Anesthesia3 moreour study aimed to evaluate the effect of nebulized lidocaine to decrease the incidence of cough and sore throat after extubation after surgeries requiring endotracheal intubation.

A Comparison Of Local Anesthetic Agents And Steroid On Tracheal Tube Cuff
Anesthesia Intubation ComplicationIntubation Complication1 moreThis study aims to compare effects of two different agents on complications due to tracheal tube cuff in pediatric patients. Sore throat, hoarseness, laryngospasm, bronchospasm are the main complications.

Inhalation of Lidocaine Before Intubation
Sore ThroatWe investigate the potential benefits of ultrasound-driven lidocaine inhalation immediately before induction.
