Beclomethasone, Lidocaine, Sore Throat, Cough, Hoarseness, Tracheal Intubation.Abstract
Sore throat, cough and hoarseness of voice are common problems after endotracheal general anesthesia. They may be very distressing to the patient and they may have many unwanted sequelae. Various preparations of lidocaine and corticosteroids have been frequently used to prevent or attenuate these complications. The aim of this study to compare the effect of lidocaine lubricant gel (on endotracheal tube) and beclomethasone inhalation preoperatively on the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, cough, and hoarseness of voice. This study included 90 patients (20-35 years of age) male patients undergoing elective major surgeries with ASA physical status I were randomized into three groups of 30 patients as follows (group A: Topical lidocaine, group B: Beclomethasone inhaler, group C: Control). The endotracheal tubes in group (A)were lubricated with lidocaine gel 5%. Group (B) patients receive 2 puffs (100 ug) of beclomethasone inhaler. In the group C patients, no medication was administered or applied. Patients were interviewed by a blind investigator for sore throat, cough and hoarseness (as none, mild, moderate, or severe), at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after full recovery.
