Comparison Of Postoperative Sore Throat Following Endotracheal Intubation With Or Without Water Based Lubricating Jelly
Abstract: Background: Water-soluble lubricant gel (X-Y jelly) was evaluated for its ability to lessen the common throat pain that follows tracheal intubation under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation, Were enrolled in a prospective, randomized, double-blind comparative study. They were split evenly into two -member cohorts. One cohort received 3 mL of water-soluble X-Y gel smeared from the cuff tip to 15 …

Comparison of Intravenous Lignocaine and Esmolol in Attenuating Hemodynamic Response to Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous lignocaine versus esmolol in minimizing the hemodynamic response during laryngoscopy and intubation. Methods: This prospective, randomized controlled trial included patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either intravenous lignocaine (Group L) or esmolol (Group E) prior to induction. Hemodynamic parameters—such as heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and …

Needle Choice in Spinal Anaesthesia: Is the 25-Gauge Whitacre Superior to the Quincke in Reducing Post-Dural Puncture Headache
Abstract: The process known as endotracheal intubation involves inserting a synthetic tube into the trachea and inflating the former's cuff to create an airtight seal. Of all the specialised masks in the LMA family, the PLMA is the most intricate. The cuff, the airway tube, the drain (gastric access) tube, and the inflation line with pilot balloon are its four primary components. This drain tube aids in identifying mask malposition and …

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. This randomized, double-blind clinical study investigated how effective pre-operative nebulized lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and their combination are in minimizing POST. Eligible adult patients classified as ASA I–II and scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to three groups. Nebulization was administered 15–20 minutes before induction using standardized dosing and …

Effectiveness of Twill Technique Vs Endotracheal Tube Holder on ETT Securement: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Endotracheal intubation is an urgent procedure which is performed on patients who are unconscious and can’t breathe by their own. Endotracheal Intubation keeps an airway open and helps to prevent chocking. When the patient is intubated, maintaining the endotracheal tube placement is essential. In case Endotracheal Tube is not secured, even basic nursing management can cause tubing slippage which is a major factor in causing airway trauma or injuries Aim: …

The Role of Polymer Chemistry in Developing a Novel Polymer-Based Retromolar Endotracheal Tube
Abstract: This study presents the development and characterization of a novel polymer-based modified endotracheal tube designed for retromolar intubation. The tube is manufactured using medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with reinforced polymeric structures to enhance flexibility while maintaining lumen integrity. The incorporation of a preformed lateral curvature mitigates airway resistance and airflow reduction caused by manual bending, ensuring an optimal balance between rigidity and adaptability. Additionally, the integration of polymer-based ligature wires …

A Quasi-Experimental Investigation of The Effects of Two Different Negative Pressure Levels During Open Endotracheal Tube Suctioning on Physiological Parameters in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in The PCCM ICU At Pt. B.D. Sharma P.G.I.M.S., Rohtak
Abstract: Introduction: Patients who are intubated often have difficulty clearing secretions through coughing. As a result, endotracheal suctioning is essential to minimize the risk of consolidation and atelectasis, which could impair ventilation. However, suctioning can pose several risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, atelectasis, hypoxemia, cardiovascular instability, increased intracranial pressure, and potential damage to the tracheal mucosa. The level of negative pressure applied during suctioning plays a crucial role in the …
