Filter by:Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is widely used in children.The appropriate time to remove laryngeal mask airway is still inconclusive.Sore throat is one of common complications after general anesthesia. Sometimes postoperative sore throat affects patients' satisfaction and daily activities. It can be correlated with dysphagia and may limit oral intake especially in children.The incidence of postoperative sore throat after laryngeal mask airway insertion varies from 5.8-34% in adult(13) and 17.5% in pediatric.Somehow, almost the studies of postoperative sore throat after laryngeal mask airway removal were done in awake state. Our study object to test that post operative sore throat after LMA removal in deep anesthetized children is lower than awake children.
We investigate the potential benefits of ultrasound-driven lidocaine inhalation immediately before induction.
The purpose of the study is to determine if physician education coupled with audit and feedback of antibiotic prescribing can improve antibiotic prescribing by primary care clinicians.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated doses of a low dosage of oromucosal Ibuprofen form (lozenge) versus placebo in patients suffering from acute sore throat pain.
Thermographic cameras are used to determine temperature and temperature differences. Attempts have been made to use the thermographic camera as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice. Thermographic cameras have been approved by the FDA in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The camera absorbs infrared radiation which is discharged from the tissue and than translates it to a digital data or a photograph. The camera does not radiate and direct contact with the patient is not needed. The safety is similar to a regular optic camera. No study on thermographic characteristics of inflammation of organs has been published. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and document these characteristics of inflammation. The correlation between the thermographic imaging and the clinical diagnosis, using routine methods, will be analyzed. The differences of thermographic imaging between an inflamed organ of a subject to a non inflamed same organ of a normal control will also be analyzed. The management of the patient will be by standard practice and will not be influenced by the thermographic camera image and the study outcome.
Rationale: Delivery dry gas during anesthesia is associated with post-operative sore throat (POST). Oxygen nebulizer therapy increases humidity to the airway, especially post-extubation. Objective: To investigate the effect and complications of oxygen nebulizer therapy on POST.
GABHS are common etiological agents for acute pharyngitis. However, local data is limited and large scale surveillance studies have not been done. This study aims to evaluate the disease burden in the community due to GABHS. In this study, patients presenting with signs of acute pharyngitis will be evaluated. Patients with fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be tested for Rapid Antigen Detection test (RADT)
Ibuprofen (also known as Advil or Motrin) is a medication that is known to reduce pain. It is also known that ibuprofen levels in the blood rise higher and faster if the medication is taken in liquid suspension. This study will attempt to determine if ibuprofen suspended in a liquid works to relieve sore throat pain faster than pills of ibuprofen. It will also determine whether patients with sore throat prefer to take pill or liquid form of the medication.
To evaluate the analgesic effect of benzydamine hydrochloride dripping on the endotracheal tube cuff for postoperative sore throat.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of double-lumen tube thermosoftening before intubation to reduce postoperative hoarseness and sore throat.
