Sore Throat
Conditions
Keywords
muscle relaxant
Brief summary
Investigators assess and compare postoperative sore throat and hoarseness in the group using the muscle relaxant and not using it during the operation.
Detailed description
The muscle relaxant is usually used during the operation to maintain moderate relaxation but, it can't be used in the surgery to need eletrophysiological monitoring during the operation. In this sturdy, the investigators assess the postoperative sore throat and hoarseness and compare the effect of muscle relaxant in the group using the muscle relaxant and not using it in terms of the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness.
Interventions
DRUGRocuronium
In the group to need the eletrophysiological monitoring during the operation, we don't inject muscle relaxant except anestheitic induction.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall cumulative incidence of postoperative sore throat | Within 24 hr evaluation period after operation | The incidence sore throat is assessed by the presence of sore throat |
| Overall cumulative incidence of postoperative hoarseness | Within 24 hr evaluation period after operation | The incidence sore throat is assessed by the degree of hoarseness |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of postoperative sore throat | At 1,6, and 24 hr after operation | The incidence of sore throat is assessed by the presence of sore throat. |
| Severity of postoperative sore throat | At 1,6, and 24 hr after operation | A 0-100 mm NRS is used to evaluate the severity of sore throat (0, no pain; 100, worst pain imaginable). |
| Incidence and severity of postoperative hoarseness | At 1,6, and 24 hr after operation | Hoarseness is defined as a voice quality different from the preoperative voice and graded as follows: none (no hoarseness), mild (recognized by the patient), moderate (obvious to the investigator), and severe (aphonia). |
| Post operative analgesic consumption | within 24 hrs after operation | the amount of patient-controlled analgesia and other analgesic medication consumed |
