Impact of Pre-Operative Nebulized Lidocaine–Dexmedetomidine Combination Versus Monotherapy on Incidence, Severity, and Patient Comfort Scores of Post-Operative Sore Throat: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Abstract: Post-operative sore throat (POST) is a common issue after endotracheal intubation and can reduce patient comfort and hinder recovery.
