Active clinical trials for "Pharyngitis"

Evaluate the necessity to treat with antibiotics GAS pharyngitis in children in Switzerland. The null hypothesis is that antibiotic treatment is not necessary for GAS pharyngitis in this population.

This investigation is planned to compare the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat according to the use of two-handed jaw thrust maneuver in patients undergoing double-lumen endotracheal intubation.

Sore throat is minor but well recognized complaint after receiving general anaesthesia. It is rated as 8th most undesirable outcome in postoperative period.It not only affects the patient's satisfaction but also can affect patient activities after leaving hospital. Many factors can contribute to postoperative sore throat and the incidence has been found to vary with the method by which airway is managed. The study is conducted to compare the severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat in children undergoing elective surgery following the use of AmbuAuraOnce LMA and I-Gel. The study will be done in children who are able to self-report the severity of sore throat. This study will help us to determine which supraglottic device (I-gel vs. AmbuAuraOnce LMA) is better in terms of causing less complication spells of sore throat. The use of such device will not only reduce the severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat that may affect the activities of patient after leaving hospital but also will improve satisfaction level of patient and parents.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate accuracy of rapid tests for group A beta hemolytic streptococci in patients who presented with sore throat at out patient department in Siriraj Hospital.

Comparison of Immunochromatographic Test for rapid detection of group A streptococcal antigen with culture in Pediatric patients.

Lightwand is a useful alternative device for intubation but scooping movement can induce damage and microbleeding of oral mucosa, postoperative hoarseness,sore throat. Optiscope is rigid video stylet which has camera on distal tip of device. In many previous studies, rigid video stylet has proven advantages compared with other intubating devices.

This investigation is planned to compare the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat according to the dose of remifentanil.

The purpose of this study is to determine if chewing gum immediately prior to transport to the operating room reduces the severity of post-operative sore throat in patients who have an LMA (laryngeal mask airway) placed for procedures with duration greater than 1 hour.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the incidence of sore throat and other tracheal co-morbidities such as dysphagia and hoarseness can be lessened by use of a cuff manometer at the beginning of surgery to inflate to the proper pressure compared to the standard technique. The investigators hypothesis is that inflation of the endotracheal balloon using a cuff manometer immediately after intubation will reduce the incidence of sore throat and other tracheal co-morbidities.
