Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of postoperative sore throat after intubation with two different types of laryngoscopes.

Detailed description

Postoperative sore throat is a well known complication after endotracheal intubation. One of the major contributing factors is trauma associated with laryngoscopy. With decreased force applied to visualise cords, video laryngoscopes should decrease the incidence of postoperative sore throat. In this study we compared the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat when laryngoscopy was done using c-mac video laryngoscope D-blade( group V) versus Macintosh laryngoscope (Group M). Method: Fifty four American society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) 1\&2 patients between age 18-60 years , undergoing laproscopic surgeries of short duration were included in this study and laryngoscopy was done with Macintosh laryngoscope in M group and with C MAC video laryngoscope D blade in V group. Patients were followed up 2hours, 6hours, 12hours and 24hours in postoperative period to see postoperative sore throat and hoarseness of voice .
