Abstract
This study was planned to evaluate the preventive
effect of dexamethasone for sore throat after
ambulatory laryngeal microsurgery. One hundred and ten
patients scheduled for ambulatory laryngeal microsurgery
under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two
groups, group S1 and group D1. Patients in the group D1
were injected with 0.2 mg/kg of intravenous dexamethasone
before the induction of anesthesia. The incidences and
severities of sore throat were measured using verbal rating
scale (VRS) at 1 h and through phone calls at 6 h after the
operation. The patients who requested analgesics in the
recovery room were measured VRS shortly before
administration of medicine. The patients in group S1 and
group D1 who did not receive rescue analgesics were
enrolled in group S6 and group D6, respectively, and
evaluated 6 h after the surgery. There were no significant
differences in the incidence and severity scores of sore
throat during 1 h after the end of operation between group
S1 and group D1. But at 6 h, the patients in the group D6
had lower incidence of sore throat than those in group S6
significantly (P = 0.003). Furthermore, the patients in the
group D6 had lower severity of sore throat than those in
group S6 significantly at 6 h (P = 0.001). In conclusion,
prophylactic administration of intravenous dexamethasone
is appeared to have efficacy for the management of sore
throat in the early post-discharge period following ambulatory
laryngeal microsurgery.
