Brief Summary

Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common outcome of general anesthesia in patients who undergo endotracheal intubation, and the estimated risk varies between 14.4% and 62%. It is one of the most undesirable postoperative anesthesia complications and has a negative impact on patient satisfaction and quality. Mucosal damage, inflammation, and erosion caused by endotracheal intubation all contribute to the development of POST. Therefore, POST is a condition that requires prevention and improvement. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups. The investigators will include 100 patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The first group will receive 150 mg of lidocaine HCl solution 5 minutes before endotracheal intubation, while the second group will receive sterile distilled water as the control group. Throat pain assessment will be conducted in patients at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The effect of lidocaine on postoperative sore throat

    The primary outcome of the study is to demonstrate whether lidocaine reduces postoperative sore throat. Sore throat and hoarseness of the patients were also investigated and recorded at the postoperative 0th, 2nd, 4th, and 24th hours. Sore throat was assessed with a scale as 0: no sore throat; 1: minimal sore throat (complaints of sore throat only on question); 2: moderate sore throat (accompanying sore throat); and 3: severe sore throat (voice change or hoarseness related to sore throat).
