Brief Summary

A postoperative sore throat (POST) after tracheal intubation is one of the most common postoperative problems causing dissatisfaction to participants, including sore throat, dry throat, cough, sputum, hoarseness and even dysphagia. Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological measures have been attempted to alleviate the incidence and severity of POST with variable success. Airway inflammation may be important in the pathogenesis of these symptoms in intubated participants but however, there was still no study to investigate the effect of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) for the prevention of POST. So, the investigators' study will be the first one to investigate if perioperatively intravenous (IV) Dynastat injection can be used as a new indication for POST prevention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The early incidence of POST

    The early incidence of POST will be also compared among the 2 groups

    The early incidence will be assessed between 1 and 2 hours after surgery

  • The late incidence of POST

    The late incidence of POST will be also compared among the 2 groups

    The late incidence will be assessed at 24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The early severity of POST

    The early severity of POST will be assessed between 1 and 2 hours after surgery

  • The late severity of POST

    The late severity will be assessed at 24 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Study group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will be received intravenous injection with 10ml transparent mixture solution with 40mg Dynastat and 0.9% saline twice

Drug: Parecoxib Injectable Product

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

This group will be received intravenous injection with 10ml 0.9% saline alone (transparent solution) twice

Drug: Normal saline

Interventions

Dynastat (parecoxib sodium) is rapidly converted to valdecoxib following injection and reduces the production of prostaglandins that are important mediators of pain and inflammation. After intravenous injection with 40mg Dynastat, the onset of analgesia was 7-14 minutes and reached a peak effect within 2 hours. After a single dose, the duration of analgesia was dose and clinical pain model dependent and ranged from 6 to greater than 24 hours and maximal daily dose of Dynastat is 80mg. According to recommendation of acute postoperative pain management and product information, the timing of first injection will be at 10 minutes before anesthetic induction, and second injection will be 6 to 12 hours after first injection.

Also known as: Dynastat
Study group

Placebo group (0.9% saline, group S) will be received intravenous injection with 10ml 0.9% saline alone (transparent solution) twice.
