Abstract EN
Background.
Postoperative sore throat is one of the major complaints of general anesthesia in the postanesthesia care unit.
This prospective study investigated the preventive effect of ketorolac tromethamine spray in postendotracheal-intubation-induced sore throat after general anesthesia.
Methods.
Surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were recruited from a medical center.
Patients were randomly assigned to group K (treated with 5% ketorolac tromethamine spray) or group D (treated with distilled water spray).
Before intubation, each endotracheal tube was sprayed with the appropriate solution by physicians over the 20 cm length of the cuff.
Each group comprised 95 patients fitting the inclusion and exclusion criteria for whom complete data sets were collected.
The intensity of the sore throat was measured at 1, 3, 6, and 24 h after surgery, and data were compared.
Results.
The two groups had similar characteristics.
Postoperative sore throat was significantly less frequent in group K than in group D (p<0.001) and the pain intensity was significantly lower in group K than in group D at each time point (all p<0.001).
Conclusions.
This study demonstrated that preanesthesia 5% ketorolac tromethamine spray could effectively decrease postendotracheal-intubation-induced sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
