Effect of Preoperative Nebulised Dexamethasone and Nebulised Magnesium Sulphate on Postoperative Sore Throat in Prone Position Surgeries- A Randomised Double-Blind Study
Abstract:Introduction: Postoperative Sore Throat (POST) is a frequently encountered complication after general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation and positional changes. Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4) is a N-Methyl D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid, both drugs helps in reducing POST by various mechanisms. Aim: To compare the effects of preoperative dexamethasone nebulisation vs preoperative MgSO4 nebulisation on sore throat in prone position surgeries. Materials and Methods: E… Show more
