Postoperative sore throat

This trial tests whether inhaling a low dose of ketamine before anesthesia can prevent the sore throat that often follows breathing tubes used during surgery. Adults aged 18-65 scheduled for elective surgery will receive either 25 mg, 50 mg, or a placebo mist before anesthesia. R…

This trial compares three devices used to place a breathing tube during surgery: a videolaryngoscope, a videostylet, and a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Researchers want to see which one leads to the least sore throat and hoarseness after the tube is removed. The study includes 311 ad…

This study looks at 70 adults having gallbladder removal surgery to see if one type of low-flow anesthesia (sevoflurane or desflurane) causes less sore throat afterward. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthetics. The goal is to find which option leads t…

This study tested whether using a pre-inflated tracheal tube cuff during intubation reduces sore throat after surgery. 250 adults with non-difficult airways were randomly assigned to either the pre-inflated cuff method or the standard deflated cuff method. The goal was to see if …

This study tested whether giving lidocaine before placing a breathing tube can reduce sore throat after surgery. 100 adults having gallbladder surgery received either lidocaine or sterile water. Researchers checked for throat pain at several points over 24 hours after the operati…

This study tested whether storing a laryngeal mask airway (a breathing tube used during general anesthesia) at a cold temperature (10-12°C) instead of room temperature (22-25°C) could reduce sore throat after surgery. 172 adults having elective surgery were randomly assigned to o…

This study tested whether putting the breathing tube (endotracheal tube) in the fridge before use could reduce sore throat after surgery. 116 adults having elective surgery took part. The researchers measured how many people had a sore throat and how bad it was in the hours after…

This study looked at whether continuously monitoring the pressure of the breathing tube during laparoscopic surgery can reduce airway problems like sore throat, cough, and hoarseness after the operation. 95 adults having elective laparoscopic abdominal surgery were randomly assig…
