“…In the study by Bulut et al who evaluated the sore throat among the patients to whom cold vapor and cold vapor with oxygen were applied following the operation, it was found that sore throat decreased at postoperative 12 hours, and there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups. In addition to this, the highest decrease in sore throat was found in the group undergoing treatment of cold vapor with oxygen; and as a result, they reported that cold vapor given following the operation did not have any effect on sore throat alone (9). Moreover, Ozsoy also reported that cold vapor applied following the surgery did not have an impact on sore throat (5).…”

“…Intervention: Patients were divided into two groups including cold vapor group (n=30) and control group by simple randomization method (n=30). The interventions, which were performed within the first 8 hours following the surgery for both groups, were application of cold vapor for 15 minutes per hour, 2 lt/min of O2 therapy via a nasal cannula for a maximum of 2 hours according to the general condition of the patient, and the evaluation of sore throat and severity of cough at 2 hour intervals in accordance with the relevant literature (5,9). Cold vapor application was maintaned for cold vapor group at two and three-hour intervals including 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hours following postoperative 8 hours whereas control group did not get this treatment.…”

“…Due to these problems that can be experienced following thyroidectomy, the use of nonpharmacological methods besides medication treatments gains importance for the elimination of such problems during patient care process. Cold vapor application is one of the non-pharmacological methods used during postoperative period (2,3,8,9). Cold vapor provides humidification of the airways.…”

“…As a result, pain and edema alleviate and tissue is supplied blood with the vasodilatation occurring after 15 minutes (12). Jung et al reported that humidification of throat with vapor following thyroidectomy decreased sore throat and cough; and Bulut et al reported that cold vapor was effective in decreasing fever, airway inflammation and viscosity of secretions, and could be used in the control of complaints such as hoarseness associated with larynx damage, cough and throat dryness (2,9). Postoperative sore throat has been frequently observed in the surgical clinics.…”

Although thyroidectomy is one of the operations that are frequently performed with a low mortality rate today, it may cause severe morbidity, bleeding, recurrent damage of neuronal and parathyroid glands and problems such as laryngeal edema. Objectives: In this analytical and prospective study, it was aimed to examine the effect of cold vapor that was applied to thyroidectomy patients during early postoperative period. The sample of the study was composed of 60 patients who underwent thyroidectomy. Patients were classified into two groups including control group and cold vapor group. Cold vapor was applied to both groups vapor for 15 minutes per hour within the first eight hours following the operation. Then, for cold vapor group cold vapor application was continued to apply at two and three hour intervals during the first 24 hours. In both groups sore throat, cough, dysphagia and vocal status were evaluated in the first 24 hours after surgery. It was determined that sore throat was experienced significantly less in cold vapor group within the first 24 hours following operation and it was increasingly cooling down. It was also found that cough was experienced significantly less in cold vapor group, and this problem disappeared completely at 8 hours after the operation. Cold vapor applied during the first 24 hours following thyroidectomy was found to have had a significant effect on decreasing swallowing impairment and eliminating hoarseness. Cold vapor application during the first 24 hours following operation was found to have an effect on alleviating sore throat, cough and swallowing impairment and eliminating hoarseness.

“…Several studies in developed and Western populations have been done to prevent postoperative sore throat (26). On the other hand, pharmacological and non-pharmacological procedures are used for the elimination of sore throat (27). Therefore, decreasing and minimizing postoperative sore throat is the main goal (28).…”

Objective. Vitamin C may be a beneficial adjunct for decreasing sore throat following tracheal intubation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin C infusion on post-intubation sore throat reduction. Methods. This double-blind randomized study was conducted on 70 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital. The patients were allocated into two groups (experimental and control). All patients received 2 mg midazolam and 100 microgram fentanyl citrate premedication. Thirty minutes after induction of anesthesia, 5 mg morphine was given to all patients. In the next step, the experimental group received vitamin C (2 g) mixed with normal saline for the total injection volume of 500 mL during 30 min and those in control group received normal saline without vitamin C.
