Abstract
Background: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication following endotracheal tube removal, and effective preventive strategies remain elusive. This trial aimed to determine whether actively regulating intraoperative cuff pressure below the tracheal capillary perfusion pressure threshold could effectively reduce POST incidence in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic procedures.
Methods: This single-center, randomized controlled superiority trial allocated 60 patients scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic procedures into two groups: one designated for cuff pressure measurement and adjustment (CPMA) group, and a control group where only cuff pressure measurement was conducted without any subsequent adjustments. The primary outcome was POST incidence at rest within 24 h post-extubation. Secondary outcomes included cough, hoarseness, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) incidence, and post-extubation pain severity.
Results: The incidence of sore throat at rest within 24 h after extubation in the CPMA group was lower than in the control group, meeting the criteria for statistically significant superiority based on a one-sided test (3.3% vs. 26.7%, P < 0.025). No statistically significant differences were observed in cough, hoarseness, or pain scores within 24 h post-extubation between the two groups. However, the CPMA group had a higher incidence of PONV compared to the control group. Additionally, the control group reported higher sore throat severity scores within 24 h post-extubation.
Conclusions: Continuous monitoring and maintenance of tracheal tube cuff pressure at 18 mmHg were superior to merely monitoring without adjustment, effectively reducing the incidence of POST during quiet within 24 h after tracheal tube removal in gynecological laparoscopic surgery patients.
Trial registration: The study was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2200064792) on 18/10/2022.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing is a clinical journal publishing papers related to technology in the fields of anaesthesia, intensive care medicine, emergency medicine, and peri-operative medicine.
The journal has links with numerous specialist societies, including editorial board representatives from the European Society for Computing and Technology in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (ESCTAIC), the Society for Technology in Anesthesia (STA), the Society for Complex Acute Illness (SCAI) and the NAVAt (NAVigating towards your Anaestheisa Targets) group.
The journal publishes original papers, narrative and systematic reviews, technological notes, letters to the editor, editorial or commentary papers, and policy statements or guidelines from national or international societies. The journal encourages debate on published papers and technology, including letters commenting on previous publications or technological concerns. The journal occasionally publishes special issues with technological or clinical themes, or reports and abstracts from scientificmeetings. Special issues proposals should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief. Specific details of types of papers, and the clinical and technological content of papers considered within scope can be found in instructions for authors.
