Summary

This study tests whether spraying a painkiller (flurbiprofen) onto a breathing tube before surgery can reduce sore throat and hoarseness afterward. 58 adults having elective lung surgery will receive either the active spray or a placebo. Their symptoms will be checked at several time points up to 48 hours after surgery.
