Filter by:OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to compare the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetist using Video LaryngoscopeTM(VDL) versus Conventional Macintosh Laryngoscope (CL) at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS 1. Sore Throat: A sore throat is pain, scratchiness or irritation of the throat usually from irritation or inflammation of the throat (pharynx)(11). The visual analogue scale (0-10) will be used to evaluate the severity of sore throat 2. Trainee Anesthetist: Anesthesia residents level I and II having experience of more than six months. They will have to achieve the initial competence of doing intubation under direct supervision and need to be familiar with conventional as well as VDL technique. HYPOTHESIS: NULL HYPOTHESIS: There is no difference in the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetists using VDLTM versus conventional Macintosh laryngoscope. ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: There is a difference in the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetists using VDLTM versus conventional Macintosh laryngoscope.
The aim of this multicentre, actively controlled, randomized, open label, parallel group, prospective, comparator study is to collect data on the clinical effectiveness and tolerability of the medical device ERS09 compared to a well-established comparator spray in the symptomatic treatment of sore throat due to acute pharyngitis and dry cough.
How tube size affect patient's experience of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness
This 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.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of preoperative administration of oral Strepsils® with added Lignocaine lozenges on the incidence of postoperative sore throat (POST) after general anaesthesia using a Supraglottic Airway Device (SAD). Patients undergoing surgery with general anaesthesia will require ventilation of their lungs with either a flexible tube placed beyond the voice box called an endotracheal tube (ETT) or a tube placed above the voice box called a Supraglottic Airway Device. This tube helps oxygenate the patient and delivers anaesthetic gas to the lungs. The procedure is invasive and uncomfortable, and one of the most common complaints is a sore and inflamed throat after the tube is taken out. This is termed postoperative sore throat (POST). The incidence of POST after SAD is comparable with the ETT and though many studies have focused on ETT, few have examined the SAD. After written informed consent is received in pre-op, a sealed and coded envelope with either the Strepsils lozenges or the placebo lozenges will be given to the patient to be administered orally, with the instruction to dissolve the lozenge by sucking on it 45 minutes prior to surgery. Upon completion of surgery and emergence from general anaesthesia, the patient will be assessed regarding the incidence and severity of sore throat, difficulty in swallowing and difficulty in speaking by the investigator using an interview format. The severity of these symptoms will be graded on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3; 0 being no symptoms, 1 being mild symptoms, 2 being moderate symptoms, and 3 being severe symptoms. This evaluation will be performed at 30 minutes and 24 hours post removal of SAD.
Currently, paracetamol and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are widely used by emergency physicians in Turkey for the treatment of sore throat. The objective of the study is compare the efficacy of intravenous dexketoprofen and paracetamol in the treatment of the pain in patients presenting to the emergency department with sore throat
One of the most common complications after endotracheal intubation is sore throat Lidocaine jelly or spray, preoperative gargles with licorice or ketamine or I.V steroids used for prophylaxis against POST are expensive ,and having much more side effects,but nebulized lidocaine is easily found with decreasing cost ,easily administered ,acts immediately with short duration ,minimal side effects ,and no term residual side effects. Nebulized ketamine was found to have a protective effect on allergen-induced airway inflammatory injury , high airway reactivity ,and decreasing postoperative sore throat (POST) incidence . Magnesium sulfate is similar to ketamine in blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors.
Operations of oral maxillofacial surgery cause the blood escape into stomach and trachea. Therefore, throat packing is applied. Endotracheal tube cuff is not protective from aspiration. While packing is preventing blood leakage, it may cause postoperative pain due to the pressure. Packing placed between oropharynx and hypopharynx before surgery to prevent leakage to stomach and trachea. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of two packing types in throat pain.
BACKGROUND/SIGNIFICANCE: With developments in mobile health and the abundance of smartphones, online consultations have emerged as a popular form of primary care in Sweden. Controversy exists regarding diagnostic accuracy, appropriate prescription of antibiotics, and effects on care-seeking patient behavior following implementation of online consultations. As empirical research is lacking, the investigators seek to evaluate online primary care consultations compared to physical consultations with regards to non-inferiority of antibiotic prescription for chief complaint of sore throat. METHODS: Medical record data is used to identify patients with a chief complaint of sore throat, cough/common cold/influenza, or dysuria after choosing online (DIGI) or physical (PHYSI) consultations. A cohort of patients with similar chief complaints prior to implementation of online consultations was used as a control group (CONTROL). Prospective data from local registries and medical records was gathered 14 days the consultation. The primary outcome was rate of antibiotic prescription after sore throat. Secondary outcomes included patient revisits (including hospital admissions), patient satisfaction, time to physician contact, registered diagnosis, and documentation or Centor Criteria and Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)-Criteria. SIGNIFICANCE: Results will shed light on whether antibiotic prescription differs significantly between digital and physical primary care consultations. Hypotheses may also be generated as to how patients seek care in light of improved availability in a tax-sponsored healthcare system.
A multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of a benzocaine lozenge for symptomatic treatment of sore throat caused by acute upper respiratory tract infection in adults.
