S.L. Spray Solution® and Difflam® and Acular®Spray for the Prevention of Postoperative Sore Throat

Comparing the Efficacies Between the Spray of S.L. Spray Solution and Difflam and Acular to Release Postoperative Sore Throat

The purpose of intubation for patients under general anesthesia is to maintain their respiratory function. However, this procedure does cause a postoperative sore throat. Comfort of patients could be promoted if effective treatment could be found.

The specific aims of this project are:

1. Comparing the Efficacies Between the Spray of S.L. Spray Solution and Difflam to Release Postoperative Sore Throat.
2. Acular spray for the prevention of postoperative sore throat.
3. Comparing the Efficacies Between the Spray of S.L. Spray Solution and Difflam and Acular to Release Postoperative Sore Throat.

This is a quasi-experimental study with purposive sampling. Patients were distributed into the four groups (1.5mg / ml Benzydamine hydrochloride, 3.0mg / ml Benzydamine hydrochloride, 5％Ketorolac Tromethamine) by the operative room. Research tools including pain scale (Numeric Rating Scale: 0-10), drugs and case data record sheet. Collected information was managed by SPSS for Windows (version 21.0) statistical software package. Both the descriptive and Inferential statistics were performed. Sample homogeneity among the four groups were verified by F-test and chi-square test. generalized estimating equation was selected to compare the throat pain in the four points of assessment.

The specific aims of this project are:

1. Comparing the Efficacies Between the Spray of S.L. Spray Solution and Difflam to Release Postoperative Sore Throat.
2. Acular spray for the prevention of postoperative sore throat.
3. Comparing the Efficacies Between the Spray of S.L. Spray Solution and Difflam and Acular to Release Postoperative Sore Throat.
