Background: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a well-recognized complication that remains unresolved in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation for general anaesthesia. The wide variation in these figures is presumably due to different skills and techniques among anesthetists and to differences between patients in the definition of sore throat. The main aim is to study the attenuating effect of Magnesium sulphate nebulization on the incidence of post-operative sore throat. Subjects and Methods: This is a prospective randomized clinical study. A total number of 100 patients of ASA grade 1 & 2, in the age group of 18 - 60 years. The study has been carried out at Sri Venkateswara Ram Narayana Ruia Government General Hospital, Sri Venkateswara Medical College, Tirupati, over a period of 12 months. Results: There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of age, gender and weight. Whereas Magnesium sulphate significantly lessens the POST during swallowing at 4th hour as compared to Normal saline (p< 0.05) and this statement can be attributed to any population. Conclusion:  Post-operative sore throat is one of the most common undesirable anesthesia-associated problems in the patients undergoing GA with an endotracheal tube for routine surgical cases for up to 24 h. Magnesium sulphate was significantly reduces the incidence of POST compared to Normal saline , and it is safe, simple and effective in reducing postoperative sore throat.

Background: Endotracheal intubation is associated with postoperative sore throat. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulphate versus dexamethasone for prevention of postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing lumbar surgery in prone position.Methods: 150 patients of ASA physical status I and II in the age group of 18 to 70 years were divided into three groups of 50 each. group I (magnesium sulphate) received intravenous magnesium sulphate 30 mg. kg-1 in a total of 50 ml of normal saline for 10 minutes after intubation, group II (dexamethasone group) received intravenous dexamethasone 8 mg in 50 mL normal saline for 10 minutes after intubation and group III (placebo group) received 50 ml of normal saline for 10 minutes after intubation. The incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness was assessed by an anesthesiologist unaware of the group allocation, on arrival in the post anesthesia care unit at 0 h, and at 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h thereafter.Results: Both incidence and severity of sore throat and incidence of hoarseness was more in placebo group than magnesium sulphate group and dexamethasone group and was statistically significant (p<0.05) and was comparable between magnesium sulphate and dexamethasone groups.Conclusions: Endotracheal intubation is associated with sore throat and hoarseness of voice. Magnesium sulphate and dexamethasone given intravenously reduce the incidence and severity of sore throat and hoarseness associated with endotracheal intubation.

Objective: To compare the difference in frequency of postoperative sore throat, dysphagia, hoarseness and cough after nasal septal surgery between pharyngeal packings soaked in normal saline, soluble aspirin or ketorolac. Study Design: A comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried at ENT Department of Combined Military Hospital, Risalpur from July 2017 to June 2018. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 180 patients of both genders, aged between 20-50 years. Cases were randomly allocated into three groups of 60 each. In group A (control), postoperative pharyngeal packing was done with ribbon gauze impregnated with 50 ml normal saline, in group B (soluble aspirin group) packing was done with gauze impregnated in 50 ml of normal saline in which 300 mg of soluble aspirin was dissolved, whereas in group C (ketorolac group) packing was done with gauze impregnated in 50 ml of normal saline in which 30 mg of ketorolac was dissolved. Results: In group A, 10 patients (16.7%) complained of sore throat, 8 (13.3%) dysphagia, 11 (18.3%) hoarseness and 12 (20%) cough. In group B, 4 (6.7%) patients complained of sore throat, 3 (5%) dysphagia, 3 (5%) hoarseness and 4 (6.7%) cough whereas in group C, 3 (5%) patients complained sore throat, 1 (1.7%) dysphagia, 2 (3.3%) hoarseness and 4 (6.7%) cough. All parameters were significantly raised (p<0.001) in group A as compared to group B and C whereas there was no significant difference found in the parameters between group B and C except dysphagia which was significantly lower (p<0.001) in group C as compared to group B. Conclusion: Use of soluble aspirin or ketorolac impregnated pharyngeal packing significantly reduced frequency of post-operative sore throat, dysphagia, hoarseness and cough as compared to simple normal saline impregnated packing among patients undergoing nasal surgery.

Background: In case of general anesthesia, airway maintenance along with least complications is the most important goal of team of anesthesiologists. In case of clinical practice, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) devices have superiority in managing supraglottic airway. Recently i-gel airway has been introduced as supraglottic airway equipment (disposable). Aim: To make comparison between laryngeal mask and I-gel with respect to postoperative complication of sore throat in case of patients who were given general anesthesia. Study design: Randomized trial Setting: Anesthesia Department Study duration: 6 after synopsis approval in total 6months of duration Methods: Candidates were divided randomly divided into two groups. In case of members of group A, patients were given i-gel where as members of group B, disposable LMA was given. General anesthesia was administered according to the standardized protocols. A day after operation, candidates were check post operatively for 24 hours, for sore throat and information was documented on Performa. Results: The candidates mean age was 44.23±15.11years in case of i-gel group members whereas 46.10±15.56 years in case of LMA group. In case of i-gel group, there were about twenty five males members and thirty five were females members . In case of LMA group members, there were about twenty six males and thirty four female members . In present case research, sore throat postoperatively was seen in case of 17(14.2%) cases, i.e. 4 (6.7%) in i-gel group while 13(21.7%) in case of LMA group. The significant difference was witnessed between members of both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thus i-gel is better than LMA for general anesthesia as it has fewer chances of side effects like postoperative sore throat.

Introduction: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common occurrence following general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The incidence of POST is estimated to be 21%-65% in various studies. Irritation and inammation of the air way are considered to be the cause of POST. Although considered a minor and self limiting complication, it may cause a signicant patient morbidity, dissatisfaction and increased the length of duration of hospital stay. Various pharmacological and non pharmacological methods have been tried to decrease POST with varying success rates. Among the interventions, the use of ketamine gargle or lozenges has highest success rates, but the problem with this is the bitter taste of the drug and the risk of aspiration, so aerosol route of drug administration gained popularity among the anesthesiologists with good acceptance from the patients. It is known that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have a role in nociception and inammation. Hence, this study is aimed at using the aerosol route of magnesium sulphate and ketamine and to nd it effectiveness in preventing POST. Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the effect of nebulized ketamine and nebulized magnesium sulphate for attenuation of postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing surgeries under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Materials And Methods: This study was done in the Department of Anesthesiology in collaboration with the Department of Surgery in Kanyakumari Government Medical College from January 2019 to December 2019. Patient planned for surgery under general anesthesia except head, neck & ENT surgeries were selected and randomized into two groups (35 each). Each group received nebulisation for 15 min before induction of general anaesthesia. Group M: Nebulization with 500mg magnesium sulphate in 5ml NS. Group K: Nebulization with 50mg ketamine in 5ml NS. The Parameters related to the study such as duration of laryngoscopy, time taken to intubate, duration of surgery, number of attempts to intubate were recorded. Incidence and severity of sore throat were assessed by four point scale. Incidence of sore throat is assessed for 24 hours. Complication were recorded. Results: We found that the demographic parameters were comparable and statistically insignicant. The mean duration of laryngoscopy difference between the two groups Group M - 24.54± 1.12 seconds and Group K - 24.49 ±1.15 seconds was not statistically signicant P= 0.834 (P>0.05). The mean time taken to intubate in Group M - 27.54± 1.12 seconds and Group K - 27.54± 1.12 seconds was not statistically signicant with P=1.000 respectively (P>0.05). The mean duration of surgery in Group M - 90.71±15.67 minutes and the Group K - 88.20 ±16.53 minutes between the two groups was not statistically signicant P= 0.516 (P>0.05). The mean difference of number of attempts taken to intubate between the two groups was statistically insignicant P=0.771 (P>0.05). The overall incidence of sore throat in Group M was 91% and in Group B was 34%. The severity of sore throat between Group M and Group K is statistically signicant at 2, 4, 6 hrs at grade 1 and grade 2. Conclusion: On the basis of our result, we can suggest that the use of perioperative ketamine nebulization when compared magnesium sulphate nebulization reduces the incidence and severity of post-operative sore throat at 4th and 6th hour during postoperative period in patients who had received general anesthesia with tracheal intubation.

ABSTRACT Objectives A combination of the neutral zone and the polished surface impression techniques is a useful method to reserve the functional and physiological forms of the underlying mandibular residual ridge by enhancing both retention and stability in Malaysian geriatric patients (2-year clinical study). Materials and methods A total of 25 Malaysian geriatric patients have participated in the current study. Two sets of dentures were served to the patients. The first set was constructed according the conventional method of complete denture construction whereas the second set was constructed by using neutral zone and polished surface impression techniques. Results The patients were followed up for 2 years and the obtained results showed that all patients have stopped using the conventional dentures and continued with the test dentures. The comparative analysis exhibited significant difference (p < 0.05) in favor of test dentures. Conclusion Combination of the neutral zone and the polished surface techniques can impart a physiological reservation to the underlying residual ridge without changes. Statement of problem It is common for completely edentulous geriatric patients to have resorbed mandibular residual ridge because of the process of aging. Some surgical interactions are contraindicated for this age group of patients, so, neutral zone technique and/or polished surface impression verified effective in improving stability for lower complete dentures. In spite of the fact that the above mentioned methods often used to enhance stability of complete denture, most of the studies were relying on only one of those methods to improve stability rather than retention. Researcher hypothesis stated that a combination of the neutral zone and the polished surface impression techniques should be performed together to enhance both stability and retention and henceforth reservation of the residual ridge under mandibular complete dentures issued to the patients with a constant follow-up for two consecutive years.
