Abstract
The method used for airway management has the strongest influence on the incidence of sore throat. Female sex, younger patients, surgery for gynecological procedures and succinylcholine also predict postoperative sore throat. The association between postoperative stay and sore throat could result from the discomfort of a sore throat early in the postoperative period making patients reluctant to go home. Pre‐anesthetic assessment was done one day prior to the surgery. A detail history of present and past medical illness, past h/o of anaesthetic exposure, concomitant history of drug allergy and intake of any medications in preoperative period was recorded. Mean CUFF Pressure in Group Ketamine was 20.06±0.97, in Dexamethasone was 20.03±0.98and in Normal Saline was 19.97±1.04. There was no significant difference in mean CUFF Pressure comparison between three groups.
