Introduction: Tracheal intubation is a standard technique for the performance of general anesthesia which might lead to stress in patient. This study has been done to evaluate prevalence and specifications of postoperative sore throat following general endotracheal anesthesia in patients undergoing open reduction surgery of extremity limbs fractures.
Methods and Materials: In this cross-sectional study a number of 78 patients with 15-65 year old undergoing open reduction surgery of extremity limbs fractures were selected upon to researcher characteristics and in un-randomized sampling. Sensory, affective, intensity and general condition of pain were assessed in 1 and 24 hour after general anesthesia and extubation by using McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form (MPQ-SF) questionnaire.
Results: Upon to result, average age was 29 year and base on McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form (MPQ-SF) questionnaire results, average score of sensory components of sore throat, 1 and 24 hour after general anesthesia was 3.42 and 1.2 respectively, and average score of affective components of sore throat 1 and 24 hour after general anesthesia was 1.14 and.46 respectively, and average score of sore throat intensity, 1 and 24 hour after general anesthesia was 3.51 and 1.18, respectively. 75.6% of patients had sore throat 1 hour after general anesthesia and 24 hour after decrease to 29.5%. In general, the majority of patients (33.3%) said that their sore throat intensity is discomforting. Pair t test revealed a significant difference between sensory and affective components and also intensity of sore throat in 1 and 24 hour after general anesthesia. Average score of sore throat intensity in females was greater than males. Pearson correlation test revealed a significant difference between age and sore throat intensity in 24 hour after general anesthesia.
Conclusion: According to results of this study, awareness to complication following general endotracheal anesthesia and implementation appropriate strategies is essential for prevention of these complications and also for patients’ satisfaction of anesthesia and surgery.
