Detailed description

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.In this study, 100 patients were intubated to undergo general anaesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy and randomised into one of two groups. An endotracheal tube was soaked in 8mg of dexamethasone for the first group intubation, while 10% lidocaine was sprayed over the tube for the second group. Following extubation, the two groups examined the severity of sore throats

Conditions

• Postoperative Sore Throat

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Topical dexamethasone	Patients were interviewed at 1 and 6 h after extubating for post-operative sore throat (POST). POST was assessed by a modified 4-point scale (0= no sore throat, 1= mild sore throat: complains of sore throat only on asking, 2 = moderate sore throat: complains of sore throat spontaneously, and 3 = severe sore throat: change of voice or hoarseness.
