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 BackgroundSore throat is a remarkable complication after thyroid surgery with endotracheal tube (ETT). Many studies revealed that laryngeal mask airway (LMA) might reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat. However, little is known about the use of a flexible reinforced LMA (FLMA) in thyroid surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential benefits of FLMA compared with ETT on postoperative sore throat.MethodsIn this prospective, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial, ninety-six patients aged 20-80 years, scheduled for elective radical thyroidectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled. They were randomly divided into ETT group and FLMA group. All the included patients received total intravenous anesthesia (with propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium) and controlled mechanical ventilation during the surgery. Cuff pressure of ETT and FLMA were strictly controlled. Incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, numbness and hoarseness at 1, 24, and 48 h after surgery was evaluated and compared between the two groups. Incidence and severity of buckling during extubation and the hemodynamic profile during intubation were also recorded and compared.ResultsThe incidence of sore throat and hoarseness was significantly lower in FLMA group than those in ETT group at 1h, 24h and 48h postoperatively, as well as the severity of sore throat. Compared to ETT group, there was a significantly lower incidence of buckling during extubation and less fluctuation of HR and BP at 1min and 3min after intubation in FLMA group.ConclusionsPostoperative sore throat and hoarseness was improved in patients undergoing thyroid surgery with FLMA when compared with ETT. The use of FLMA also achieved less buckling during extubation and better hemodynamic profiles during intubation.

Introduction Ultrasound-guided internal branch of the upper laryngeal nerve block (USG-guided iSLN block) have been used to decrease the perioperative stress response of intubation. It is more likely to be successful than blindly administered superior laryngeal nerve blocks with fewer complications. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of USG-guided iSLN block to treat postoperative sore throat (postoperative sore throat, POST) after extubation. Methods 100 patients, aged from 18 to 60 years old, ASA I~II who underwent general anesthesia and suffered from the moderate to severe postoperative sore throat after extubation were randomized into two groups(50 cases per group). Patients in group S received USG-guided iSLN block bilaterally (60mg of 2% lidocaine, 1.5ml each side), whereas those in group I received inhalation with 100 mg of 2% lidocaine and 1mg of budesonide suspension diluted with normal saline (oxygen flow 8 L /min, inhalation for 15 minutes). The primary outcome were VAS scores in both groups before treatment (T0), 10 min (T1), 30 min(T2), 1h(T3), 2 h(T4), 4h(T5), 8h(T6), 24h(T7), and 48h(T8) after treatment. The secondary outcome were satisfaction scores after treatment, MAP, HR, and SPO2 fromT0 to T8. The adverse reactions such as postoperative chocking or aspiration, cough, hoarseness, dyspnea were also observed in both groups. Results Patients in group S had significantly lower VAS score than that in group I at points of T1 ~ T6 (P < 0.01). HR of group S was lower than that of group I at points of T1 ~ T2and T4 (P < 0.05), and MAP was lower than that of group I at points of T1 ~ T3 (P < 0.05). Satisfaction scores of group S were higher than that of group I (P <0.05), In group S, 2 case (4%) needed to intravenous Flurbiprofen Injection 50 mg to relieve pain; in group I, 13 cases (26%) received Flurbiprofen Injection. 2 case of group S appeared throat numbness after treatment for 3 hours; 2 patients have difficult in expectoration after treatment recovered after 3hour. No serious adverse events were observed in both groups. Conclusion Compared with inhalation, USG-guided iSLN block may effectively relieve the postoperative sore throat after extubation under general anesthesia and provided an ideal treatment for POST in clinical work.

Background: The use of nitrous oxide and carboperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy lead to increase in endotracheal tube cuff pressure. It may impair tracheal mucosal perfusion with subsequent tracheal damage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cuff pressure and incidence of post-operative sore throat in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: In this prospective observational study, 128 patients aged 18-65 years of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status I and II undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled and allocated alternately into two groups, Study Group (Maintenance of anesthesia with sevoflurane 1-2%, oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture; 40/60), Control Group (Maintenance of anesthesia with sevoflurane 1-2%, oxygen/air mixture; 40/60) were analysed and comapared. Each group contained 64 patients. Aneroid manometer was used to monitor cuff pressure. Volume of air used to inflate the cuff, baseline cuff pressure, comparison of intraoperative cuff pressure and incidence of postoperative sore throat were measured.Results: The study results demonstrated higher cuff pressure in study group at all times after the creation of carboperitoneum (p=0.00) with increased incidence of sore throat(p=0.004).Conclusions: Increase in endotracheal tube cuff pressure was noted with the use of nitrous oxide in laparoscopic cholecystectomy with subsequent post-operative airway complication. Monitoring of cuff pressure is simple, noninvasive and efficient way of achieving therapeutic cuff pressure of 20-30 cm of H2O and thus recommends its use.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini berjudul perbandingan tingkat kenyamanan pasca pembiusan umum dengan endotracheal tube antara pemberian dexametasone intravena dan lidocaine spray di RSUD Arifin Achmad Provinsi  Riau. Tingkat kenyamanan berupa nyeri tenggorok pada pasien yang menjalani pembiusan umum dengan intubasi endotrakeal dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa hal yaitu obat-obatan yang diberikan, teknik insersi, tekanan cuff dan manajemen setelah insersi.Nyeri tenggorok pada pasien yang menjalani anestesi umum dengan intubasi endotrakeal pada umumnya tidak berakibat fatal dan akan menghilang dalam 48-72 jam setelah operasi tetapi hal ini dapat menyebabkan gangguan yang cukup berarti bagi pasien, menambah lama dan biaya rawatan pasien di rumah sakit serta meninggalkan kesan buruk terhadap operasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan randomized clinical controlled trial dengan rancangan eksperimental yang dilakukan pada 104 pasien yang menjalani anestesi umum dengan endotrakeal tube di RSUD Arifin Achmad Provinsi Riau pada bulan September-Oktober 2019. Pada hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa pemberian dexametasone intravena sebelum tindakan intubasi endotrakeal lebih efektif dalam mencegah nyeri tenggorok pasca operasi dibandingkan lidocaine spray (19.2% untuk Dexametasone intravena dan 29.8% pada Lidocaine spray). Secara statistik, perbedaan kejadian nyeri tenggorok antara kelompok Dexametasone intravena dan Lidocaine spray adalah bermakna pada skoring 1 jam post operasi (p 0.05) dan tidak bermakna pada skoring 24 jam post operasi (p0.05). Insidensi nyeri tenggorok terbanyak berdasarkan usia adalah pada kelompok usia 46-55 tahun dan 55-65 tahun, berdasarkan jenis kelamin adalah lebih banyak pada perempuan dibandingkan laki-laki, dan lebih banyak pada pasien yang mempunyai riwayat merokok. Kata kunci: nyeri tenggorok, dexametasone intravena, lidocaine spray, RSUD Arifin Achmad Provinsi Riau Abstract. This study is about the comparison of the level of comfort after general anesthesia with an endotracheal tube between administration of intravenous dexametasone and lidocaine spray in Arifin Achmad General Hospital of Riau Province. The level of comfort in the form of sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation can be influenced by several things such as administration of drugs, insertion techniques, cuff pressure and management after insertion. Sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is generally not fatal and will disappear within 48-72 hours after surgery but this can cause significant disruption to the patient, increase the length and cost of patient care in the hospital and leave bad impression from surgery. This study is a randomized clinical controlled trial with an experimental design conducted on 104 patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal tube at Arifin Achmad General Hospital in Riau Province in September-October 2019. The study found that administration of intravenous dexametasone before endotracheal intubation is more effective in preventing postoperative sore throat compared to lidocaine spray (19.2% for intravenous Dexametasone and 29.8% in Lidocaine spray). Statistically, the difference in the incidence of sore throat between the intravenous Dexametasone group and Lidocaine spray was significant at 1 hour postoperative scoring (p 0.05) and not significant at 24 hour postoperative scoring (p 0.05). The highest incidence of sore throat by age is in the age group 46-55 years and 56-65 years, more frequent in women than men, and more frequent in patients who have a history of smoking. Keywords: sore throat, intravenous dexametasone, lidocaine spray, Arifin Achmad General Hospital Riau Province
