Filter by:This study was performed to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing spinal surgery in the prone position who are at risk of developing postoperative sore throat.
Post-operative sore throat (POST) following General Anesthesia with endotracheal is a common symptom and drains resources. The researchers will compare preoperative gargling of Asprine and Benzydamine HCL to study comparative effects on intensity and duration of POST. Data collected as such will be analyzed to reach at a conclusion.
Post operative sore throat after general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is a common problem causing dissatisfaction and discomfort to the patients. The investigators want to study the effect of tramadol on postoperative sore throat in general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
the aim of our study is to investigate if stimulation of the P6, LI4 and LI11 acupuncture points via laser acupuncture prevents sore throat caused by the classic laryngeal mask.
Many ambulatory networks are mainly based on diagnoses made by first-line physicians not specifically trained to join the network. Here we aim to set up a surveillance network on pediatric infectious diseases with an investment in teaching with specific trainings of participating pediatricians, increasing in use of point of care tests, and automated data extraction from the computers of the pediatricians.
Randomized trial evaluating effectiveness of rapid point-of-care molecular GAS diagnostics as compared to standard culture-based techniques for the management of children aged 3-18 years of age presenting with sore throat to McMaster Children's Hospital Emergency Department.
Sore throat is the second most common cause of antibiotic prescribing in primary care in Sweden. Guidelines for sore throat focus on identifying people with sore throat where there are 3 and 4 specified criteria and where near patient tests identify group A streptococci (GAS). In these cases, phenoxymethylpenicillin is recommended. Studies that have identified microorganisms in sore throat show that there are other bacteria and viruses than GAS, that give similar symptoms and that sometimes no microorganism is trapped despite pronounced symptoms. In recent years, a bacterium F. necrophorum has been identified, which is found in increased incidence of sore throat, but it is also found in healthy individuals. In clinical practice, many patients are treated with penicillin even if GAS is not captured. This may be because the doctor perceives the patient as sick or because other bacteria are not caught with a near patient test which causes the doctor to treat anyway. The specific aims are to in patients with GAS-negative sore throat and 3 and 4 criteria, aged 15 years and older in primary care, study whether phenoxymethylpenicillin treatment shortens the duration of the disease, reduces the symptom intensity and sickness absence, and investigates the importance of other microorganisms than GAS in sore throat. The study is a randomized controlled trial in which patients with sore throat are randomized to phenoxymethylpenicillin 3 times daily for 10 days or to no antibiotic therapy. There will also be and a reference group with severe (Centor score 3-4), GAS-positive acute tonsillitis. Blood samples for inflammatory and immunological response to infections are taken. Throat samples for culture of F. necrophorum and streptococcal groups C and G, as well as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis for bacteria and viruses are also taken at inclusion and at follow-up. The outcome will be followed in a patient diary for 10 days and at a return visit after 18-24 days where the clinical outcome is asked for and where the blood- and throat samples are repeated. Follow-up will also takes place via e-mail after 1 and 3 months.
our study aimed to evaluate the effect of nebulized lidocaine to decrease the incidence of cough and sore throat after extubation after surgeries requiring endotracheal intubation.
A postoperative sore throat (POST) after tracheal intubation is one of the most common postoperative problems causing dissatisfaction to participants, including sore throat, dry throat, cough, sputum, hoarseness and even dysphagia. Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological measures have been attempted to alleviate the incidence and severity of POST with variable success. Airway inflammation may be important in the pathogenesis of these symptoms in intubated participants but however, there was still no study to investigate the effect of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) for the prevention of POST. So, the investigators' study will be the first one to investigate if perioperatively intravenous (IV) Dynastat injection can be used as a new indication for POST prevention.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of double-lumen tube thermal-softening before intubation on the success rate of tube exchange by airway exchange catheter.
