About this study

Sore throat includes specific symptoms such as dysphagia, dysphonia, hoarseness, continuous throat pain, and pharyngeal dryness. Patients rated postoperative sore throat (POST) as the eighth most undesirable outcome in the postoperative period POST has a reported incidence of up to 62% following general anesthesia (GA). The incidence of POST is more common in GA with tracheal intubation than in GA with the supraglottic airway Ketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and has been used as a gargle for reducing the incidence and severity of POST due to its anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects

Being tested
Ketamine, saline nebulization

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the incidence and severity of POST

    the study is to measure the incidence and severity of POST at immediate recovery (0 h), 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h post-operatively. in adult patients undergoing surgery of a duration less than 2h.

    Measured: at immediate recovery (0 h), 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h post-operatively.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. evaluation of side effects including nausea, vomiting, cough, and dry mouth in both groups.

    evaluation of side effects including nausea, vomiting, cough, and dry mouth in both groups.

    Measured: at immediate recovery (0 h), 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h post-operatively.
