Filter by:In this observational study insights regarding the tolerability and influence on the quality of life of the topical treatment Ectoin Mund- and Rachenspray compared to Emser Pastillen in patients with acute Pharyngitis/ Laryngitis under real life conditions shall be gained. Patients are treated with Ectoin Mund- & Rachenspray 1% or Emser Pastillen according to the demands of the physician and the instructions for use.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of betamethasone gel and lidocaine jelly (over tracheal tube cuff) compared with distilled water on the post intubation syndrome incidence. This study has not been carried out in Iran. 99 patients of either sex undergoing elective surgery were recruited in a single blind randomized study. The patients, using randomization table, were divided into three groups. Anesthetics and medications used during surgery were similar for all the patients. For the all patients, the incidence of postoperative sore throat, cough and hoarseness of the voice in the different follow-up periods (1, 6 and 24 hours) based on the different types of medications were obtained.
The purpose of this trial is to show the accuracy and specificity of the Liat analyzer and assay for detecting Strep A at the point of care lab compared to culture.
Sore throat is one of most frequent complaints related to general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Although sore throat is regarded as a minor and short-lasting discomfort after surgery, its incidence and intensity in high risk patients such as female gender, head and neck surgery and difficult laryngoscopy or intubation may attribute to prolong postoperative recovery and give patient dissatisfaction. Even though the pathophysiology of post-intubation airway symptoms is not completely clarified yet, the mucosal damage related inflammation at the cuff of endotracheal tube has been thought to be an essential trigger. Thus anti-inflammatory medication has been commonly used strategy to prevent postoperative airway discomfort after intubation. The preoperative administration of dexamethasone has been reported to reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, but it is accompanied with the adverse effects such as hyperglycemia, delayed wound healing and increased infection in surgical patients. Ketorolac, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is an analgesic that commonly used for postoperative pain control and has anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, the investigator designed to evaluate the effect of ketorolac on sore throat in comparison to dexamethasone after thyroidectomy in female adult patients
The purpose in this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the incidence of postoperative sore throat when using the GlideScope™ versus a traditional intubation blade involving patients that are not anticipated to have a difficult airway.
Post operative sore throat (POST) following tracheal intubation is a common problem causing dissatisfaction and discomfort to the patients. Prophylactic use of both lidocaine and dexamethasone has been used independently for this purpose. However, there is no study assessing the synergistic analgesic effects of lidocaine and dexamethasone for POST. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of lidocaine, dexamethasone and lidocaine dexamethasone combination on the incidence and severity of POST.
The study's purpose is to demonstrate the onset of action, i.e., time to meaningful pain relief in patients with pharyngitis, of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenge using the Double-Stopwatch Method (DSW).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of magnesium sulfate and dexamethasone on postoperative sore throat after spinal surgery in prone position with tracheal intubation.
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.
