Brief Summary  

Many of the general anaesthetic procedures in the modern anaesthesia practices are carried out with endotracheal intubation. It has advantages including the provision of the reliable airway, prevention of aspiration and smooth delivery of anaesthetic gases. All patients who were intubated for long duration or short duration operations had some degree of airway injury. Common adverse effects of cuffed endotracheal tube-like local irritation, inflammation of the airway mucosa etc leads to post-extubation morbidities such as sore throat, cough and hoarseness of voice which is extremely distressing to the patient. This study will be done to compare the efficacy of betamethasone gel and lignocaine jelly as lubricants in reducing post-operative sore throat, cough and hoarseness of voice in patients operated under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
