Tympanoplasty is the general name given to operations in which the defect in the tympanic membrane is repaired with a connective tissue graft to correct the pathology in chronic otitis media and its sequelae. The pathology in the middle ear and mastoid system may vary from a central tympanic membrane perforation in which the mucosa and ossicles in the middle ear are completely dry to cholesteatoma in which the entire membrane and ossicles in the middle ear are destroyed and sometimes complications such as facial paralysis, labyrinth fistula, meningitis and brain abscess are observed. A simple myringoplasty in which only the perforated eardrum is repaired is the simplest type of tympanoplasty. A radical masteidectomy is a procedure in which the middle ear and the outer ear mastoid system are moulded into a single cavity. Anxiety is an emotional state defined as a restless feeling whose source is usually uncertain. It may cause abnormal haemodynamic changes as a result of sympathetic, parasympathetic and endocrine stimulation. Patients' anxiety and fear increase during the time they are waiting for the operation. Elimination of anxiety in the preoperative preparation period is important to improve the quality of postoperative recovery and reduce costs (4). Scales such as State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), APAIS, Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale (HADS), and Beck Anxiety Scale (Beck Anxiety Scale), which measure trait and state anxiety separately, can be used to determine anxiety levels. Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication of general anesthesia. Although it is less harmful than other complications, it decreases postoperative comfort of patients and may prolong hospital stay. After intubation, patients may experience complications such as hoarseness, dysphagia, cough and dry throat with POST. The incidence related to tracheal intubation has been reported to be 62% and it is thought to be caused by injury with laryngoscopy or damage to the tracheal mucosa due to cuff pressure. Sore throat in the postoperative period negatively affects patient comfort and may lead to an unpleasant anesthetic experience. This study aimed to reveal the relationship between preoperative anxiety level and postoperative sore throat and other complications in patients undergoing tympanoplasty.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of throat packs on PONV in dental treatments under general anesthesia in special health care needs.
This study was planned to investigate the effect of chewing gum in the preoperative period on patients' sore throat and anxiety levels.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common outcome of general anesthesia in patients who undergo endotracheal intubation, and the estimated risk varies between 14.4% and 62%. It is one of the most undesirable postoperative anesthesia complications and has a negative impact on patient satisfaction and quality. Mucosal damage, inflammation, and erosion caused by endotracheal intubation all contribute to the development of POST. Therefore, POST is a condition that requires prevention and improvement. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups. The investigators will include 100 patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The first group will receive 40 mg of lidocaine HCl solution 5 minutes before endotracheal intubation, while the second group will receive standard anesthesia management as the control group. Throat pain assessment will be conducted in patients at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.
This project aims to investigate if an organisational change of patient flow away from medical practitioners can reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing in patients attending with a sore throat as the main complaint.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare two different orotracheal tubes in patients which require orotracheal intubation for general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the presence of laryngeal injury - To evaluate the consequences in voice quality - To ask for the presence of symptoms as sore throat, hoarseness, and cough Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups, one will use conventional endotracheal tube and the other will use Triglotix® endotracheal tube.
Upper respiratory infections (URIs) have long posed a significant burden to the US healthcare system. Well before the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic they have been among the most common acute outpatient illnesses, causing 75-100 million physician visits each year on average, and costing the health care system billions of dollars annually. This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study tested the efficacy of two anti-inflammatory throat sprays against placebo and against a throat spray taken in conjunction with 325mg of aspirin, a well-known systemically administered cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. Participants having common cold symptoms lasting less than two days were enrolled and given treatment to administer at home. Various common cold symptoms were assessed and measured via clinically validated self-assessment scales. Participants were screened for influenza and COVID-19 before enrollment and were excluded if found positive.
Magnesium sulfate has many mechanisms of action for attenuating the stress response as inhibition of catecholamine releasing from the adrenal medulla, keeping the plasma concentration of epinephrine at a fixed level, decreasing the circulating norepinephrine level when compared to that of a control group[ and also has a vasodilation effect on systemic and coronary blood vessels by blocking calcium ion in vascular smooth muscle.-Methyl- D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonism is an amazing recent discovery for magnesium sulphate to play an important role in stress response. In this study, we will study the effects of nebulized magnesium sulfate on hemodynamics during intubation.
Patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery requiring double-lumen tube intubation are randomized into two groups; gum group and control group. In the gum group, patients are instructed to chew gum for 2 minutes, approximately 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Patients in the control group are instructed to swallow saliva twice. Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are assessed 30 minutes after recovery room admission, and at 2 and 24 hours after extubation.
