Brief Summary   A Prospective randomized double blind study titled “Comparison of effect of Magnesium
Sulphate Nebulization and Ketamine nebulization in prevention of postoperative Sore throat”
was undertaken at M.S.Ramaiah Hospitals, Bangalore. The study was conducted on 111
patients belonging to ASA 1, 2 and 3 undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia
with tracheal intubation. Study subjects were divided into three study groups. Patients in
Group M were nebulized with 3ml (300mg) of Magnesium Sulphate, Group K with 3ml
(50mg) of Ketamine and Group S with 3ml Normal Saline. Nebulization was administered
15minutes prior to the surgery and general anaesthesia was induced 5minutes after
Nebulization. Hemodynamic monitoring was done pre nebulization, post nebulization and
post induction. Postoperatively patients were assessed for incidence and severity of POST,
hoarseness of voice, dysphagia and cough at intervals of 0, 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours
postoperatively.
The incidence of POST was significantly less in Group M (13.5%) and Group K (2.7%) when
compared to Group S (94.6%). There was also significant reduction in the incidence and
severity of Postoperative hoarseness, dysphagia and cough at 0, 2 and 4 hours in Group M
and Group K when compared to Group S.
Thus it can be concluded that Preoperative Nebulization with Magnesium sulphate 300mg or
Ketamine 50mg is an effective method for preventing Postoperative Sore throat,
hoarseness, dysphagia and cough in patients undergoing elective surgery under General
anaesthesia with tracheal intubation.
