NCT05354154

Brief Summary

Postoperative sore throat is a distressing but frequent symptom presented by the patients on the floor upon awakening from General Anesthesia, where endotracheal intubation is part of the Anesthetic protocol. Its incidence ranges between 21-71.8%. Good skills and availability of trained staff to cause minimal tissue damage are expected to reduce the incidence. Risks factors associated will be analyzed.
