Primary

MeasureTime frame
Examine the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine nebulisation in attenuating Post Operative Sore Throat in adult patients undergoing General endotracheal tube anaesthesia, when compared with clonidine and conventional saline NebulizationTimepoint: At 0,1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24h post-extubation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
