Clinical Trial Summary

Tracheal intubation often causes trauma to the airway mucosa, leading to postoperative sore throat (POST), which has been reported to occur in 21-65% of cases. While considered a minor complication, POST can contribute to postoperative discomfort and patient dissatisfaction.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients have ranked POST as the eighth most adverse effect during the postoperative period. Various methods, both non-pharmacological and pharmacological, have been explored to mitigate POST with varying degrees of success. Non-pharmacological approaches include using smaller-sized endotracheal tubes, lubricating the tube with water-soluble jelly, employing careful airway instrumentation, ensuring intubation after full relaxation, employing gentle oropharyngeal suctioning, minimizing intracuff pressure, and deflating the tracheal tube cuff completely before extubation, all of which have been reported to reduce the incidence of POST. ;
