Brief summary

The study was planned to determine the effect of arnica montana, green tea mouthwash and ice particles impregnation on postoperative sore throat and hoarseness.

Detailed description

Research Hypotheses Hl: Gargling with green tea after surgery reduces sore throat. H2: Impregnation of postoperative ice particles reduces sore throat. H3: Post-operative gargling with arnico montana reduces sore throat. H4: Gargling with green tea after surgery reduces hoarseness. H5: Impregnation of postoperative ice particles reduces hoarseness. H6: Postoperative mouthwash with arnico montana reduces hoarseness. Research Question 1. Do ice particles impregnation, gargling with green tea and gargling with arnico montana reduce intubation-related sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia? 2. Do ice particles impregnation, gargling with green tea and gargling with arnico montana reduce hoarseness due to intubation in patients undergoing general anesthesia?

Interventions

OTHERComparıson

Only evaluation will be made at 0, 4, 6, and 8 hours after surgery without intervention in the control group. For other groups; Evaluation will be made at the 0th hour after the operation without application. The application will be made at the 4th, 6th, and 8th hours after the surgery and the resulting pain and hoarseness will be evaluated.
