Preoperative amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol with lignocaine lozenge reduces postoperative sore throat following general anaesthesia using supraglottic airway devices: A double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

Background and Aims: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is an undesirable event reported in up to 62 of patients receiving general anaesthesia (GA). The incidence of POST following GA using a supraglottic airway device (SAD) is approximately 50, with symptoms persisting up to 48 h. We examined the rol...

The incidence of POST following GA using a supraglottic airway device (SAD) is approximately 50, with symptoms persisting up to 48 h. We examined the role of preoperative lozenges containing amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol (AMC/DCBA) with lignocaine (Strepsils ® Max Plus) in reducing the incidence and intensity of POST following GA using SAD. Methods: We conducted a prospective, double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial involving 88 adults receiving GA for elective surgery using SAD not exceeding 2 h. Patients received either Strepsils Max Plus (Strepsils-LA group) or a placebo before induction of GA. The incidence and intensity of sore throat, dysphagia and dysphonia was measured using the Verbal Rating Scale at 30 min (early) and at 24 h (late) after removal of SAD. Results: Overall POST incidence was lower in the Strepsils-LA group (27.7 ver Medknow Publications 2022 Article PeerReviewed Sundaraj, Sebastian and Shariffuddin, Ina Ismiarti and Chaw, Sook Hui and Wan Zakaria, Wan and Shan Ng, Kevin and Ruslan, Shairil (2022) Preoperative amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol with lignocaine lozenge reduces postoperative sore throat following general anaesthesia using supraglottic airway devices: A double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
