Filter by:postoperative sore throat is the most frequent side effects after anaesthesia intubation. Dexamethasone and 10% lidocaine spray used prior to surgery has shown useful in managing these complications at the moment. In order to examine the prophylactic impact of local Dexamethasone and lidocaine on postoperative sore throat, this study was conducted.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common morbidity following upper airway access-control with direct laryngoscopy-intubation (DLI) technique. Various reasons (size of the tracheal tube, cuff pressure, rough tube pass, and reattempts, among others) have been cited and management strategies (pharmacologic: applying lidocaine gel/EMLA cream on the cuff surface; non-pharmacologic measures: tracheal tube cuff pressure control, optimization of tracheal tube size, applying lubricating gel) have been tried, but none has been able to decrease the incidence of POST nor has been able to decrease the suffering of patients. Traditionally, intubation is performed with a deflated endotracheal tube and the cuff is later inflated to secure the tube in desired position. The striated folds present in the deflated cuff incurs additional dynamic friction that traumatizes upper airway mucosa during the procedure, causing the risk of POST. While accentuated friction burden on the posterior part of vocal cords and the tracheal mucosa has been studied recently, there has been no work on understanding the kinetic contact- friction ensued by a passing tracheal tube/cuff. We speculate that dynamic contact-friction generated at the time of passing of a cuffed tracheal tube is the major active component which has potential to cause actual tissue trauma and inflammation resulting in adverse effects (POST, hoarseness, throat pain, cough). This study aims to evaluate the effects of reducing dynamic/kinetic contact-friction by employing a pre-inflated tracheal tube cuff to pass the vocal cords at the time of orotracheal intubation.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common and undesirable postoperative symptom that causes patient dissatisfaction. Cold application is a non-invasive, non-pharmacological, cost-effective and effort-effective therapy for pain management. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether colding of ETT can reduce sore throat, dysphagia and dysphonia after endotracheal intubation.
investigate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided bilateral internal branch of the SLN (iSLN) block for alleviating POST immediately after the operation.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a fairly common side effect of general anesthesia which is caused by the mucosal injury and nerve compression associated with tracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway device insertion. In this randomized study, the authors evaluate the effect of K-Y jelly-soaked nasopharyngeal packs on POST and postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients subjected to nasal surgery.
