Comparative study of dexamethasone nebulisation with magnesium sulphate nebulisation in preventing post operative sore throat following endotracheal intubation
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative sore throat is one of the most common complications following endotracheal intubation Though considered minor complication it may cause significant patient dissatisfaction Various nonpharmacological and pharmacological trials have been used with variable resultsObjectives To compare the efficacy of nebulised dexamethasone with that of nebulised magnesium sulphate in decreasing the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat POSTMaterials and Methods In this prospective double blind study 90 patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation lasting Results Compared to group M significantly lesser number of patients in group D had postoperative sore throat at 0hr p 00262 4th hr p000022 8th hr p000039 and 12hr p0000657 None of the patients in group D had any hoarseness of voice at 0hr 4th hr 8th hr of assessment p Conclusion Preoperative dexamethasone nebulisation just before induction of anaesthesia is an effective method of reducing the incidence and severity of POST following endotracheal intubation Dexamethasone nebulisation reduces the severity of sore throat more effectively than magnesium sulphate nebulisationKeywords Postoperative sore throat Nebulisation Hoarseness Cough Dexamethasone Magnesium sulphate
