| description | Background. Postoperative sore throat is a common complication seen after general anesthesia; different methods have been proposed for its prevention and treatment. One of these methods is mouth washing with normal saline. Methods. This research was designed and executed to assess the above washing method. In a clinical trial study, two "one hundred cases" groups were selected. In one of them, mouth washing with normal saline was performed. A checklist was designed for data collection; which was filled out twice to reduce recall bias as much as possible; the second time, the checklist was filled out 24 hours after extubation. Findings. The cases undergone mouth washing had less sore throat (P < 0.001). The two groups did not have statistical differences regarding demographic characteristics. Conclusion. The results suggest that washing of pharynx before extubation can decrease severity of post operative sore throat. |
