Filter by:Tracheal intubation often causes trauma to the airway mucosa, leading to postoperative sore throat (POST), which has been reported to occur in 21-65% of cases. While considered a minor complication, POST can contribute to postoperative discomfort and patient dissatisfaction.
The main purpose of our prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study is to investigate the effect of keeping endotracheal tube cuff pressures within a certain range on the incidence of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness and cough.The secondary aims of our study are to evaluate the effect of intubation duration, smoking, presence of chest disease, presence of blood on the intubation tube after extubation, presence of NG\OG, and type of surgery on the incidence of sore throat, hoarseness, and cough.The patients were randomly divided into two: a study group with continuous cuff pressure monitoring and a control group without continuous cuff pressure monitoring.The endotracheal cuff pressure of the patients in both groups was measured by a blinded researcher using a cuff manometer after intubation, before extubation, and in long cases, at the 3rd hour after intubation.Patients were evaluated for sore throat, cough, and hoarseness at the 2nd and 24th hours by another researcher blinded to the study groups.
Chronic pharyngolaryngitis is common and often make people suffer in many aspects. The etiology is numerous, for example, airway hypersensitivity, gastroesophageal acid regurgitation, sicca syndrome, anxiety, etc. The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of Jing Si herbal tea liquid packets on chronic pharyngolaryngitis by a design of randomized, double-blind clinical trial in this study. The subjects who were bed-ridden, without self-care ability, receiving hemodialysis, no idea about the details of this study, poor compliance for this study, alcohol and/or drugs additives, pregnancy and breast-feeding women were excluded from this study. A questionnaire for health and habits was performed at the start of the study, and a questionnaire for Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) was performed at the start and the end of the study. Finally, Student's t-test was used to test the difference between the Jing Si herbal tea group and the control group. And, multivariate linear regression was used to test the violation of clinical factors on the treatment outcome of Jing Si herbal tea liquid packets on chronic pharyngolaryngitis.
Septoplasty or septal reconstruction is a corrective surgical procedure performed to straighten the nasal septum. It may be associated with numerous complications. To minimize these complications, both nasal cavities are frequently packed with different types of nasal packing. In our study we will try to find relationship between duration of nasal packing and postrhinoplasty sore throat and pharyngitis.
The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate the effects of a throat pack soaked with saline at +4 ºC on postoperative throat pain (POTP) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in dental surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How long can we keep the pharyngeal mucosa cold using tampons and cold wash solutions? 2. Does cooling the pharyngeal mucosa reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat and nausea and vomiting?
postoperative sore throat is the most frequent side effects after anaesthesia intubation. Dexamethasone and 10% lidocaine spray used prior to surgery has shown useful in managing these complications at the moment. In order to examine the prophylactic impact of local Dexamethasone and lidocaine on postoperative sore throat, this study was conducted.
This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups in which 150 volunteers (75 per group) will receive either VITIS CPC Protect® mouthwash (Mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as an anti-plaque antiseptic at a concentration of 0.07%) or mouthwash without cetylpyridinium chloride, as control group Subjects included in the study will be followed for 90 days. Symptoms associated with vURTIs (viral upper respiratory tract infections) should be recorded, when they appear, to determine the existence of viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. Symptoms and adverse effects will be recorded when the episode occurs. The assignment as VURIs will be made by the investigator once the diaries have been completed, or during the symptoms if possible.
The purpose of this study will to evaluate the degree of postoperative sore throat and Life Impairment changes in patients with sleep apnea who underwent da Vinci robotic arm surgery as an intervention of oral cryotherapy.
The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the Mouth and Throat Rinse in adult participants with acute sore throat (upper respiratory tract infection e.g., pharyngitis/laryngitis) compared to placebo.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common morbidity following upper airway access-control with direct laryngoscopy-intubation (DLI) technique. Various reasons (size of the tracheal tube, cuff pressure, rough tube pass, and reattempts, among others) have been cited and management strategies (pharmacologic: applying lidocaine gel/EMLA cream on the cuff surface; non-pharmacologic measures: tracheal tube cuff pressure control, optimization of tracheal tube size, applying lubricating gel) have been tried, but none has been able to decrease the incidence of POST nor has been able to decrease the suffering of patients. Traditionally, intubation is performed with a deflated endotracheal tube and the cuff is later inflated to secure the tube in desired position. The striated folds present in the deflated cuff incurs additional dynamic friction that traumatizes upper airway mucosa during the procedure, causing the risk of POST. While accentuated friction burden on the posterior part of vocal cords and the tracheal mucosa has been studied recently, there has been no work on understanding the kinetic contact- friction ensued by a passing tracheal tube/cuff. We speculate that dynamic contact-friction generated at the time of passing of a cuffed tracheal tube is the major active component which has potential to cause actual tissue trauma and inflammation resulting in adverse effects (POST, hoarseness, throat pain, cough). This study aims to evaluate the effects of reducing dynamic/kinetic contact-friction by employing a pre-inflated tracheal tube cuff to pass the vocal cords at the time of orotracheal intubation.
