A randomized controlled study to compare the efficacy of amyl meta cresol-2, 4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol lozenges Vs warm saline gargles Vs control in the prevention and treatment of post-operative sore throat after endotracheal intubation
Abstract:The incidence of a post-operative sore throat (POST) varied from 21%–100% in intubated patients. Numerous non-pharmacological and pharmacological measures have been used for attenuating POST with variable success. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of amyl meta cresol-2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (AMC-2,4-DCBA) lozenges against warm normal saline (0.9%) gargles versus control in preventing and treating POST after extubation of the patients who have undergone surgical procedures under genera… Show more
