Abstract: Background: Post-operative sore throat (POST) is a frequent complaint that occurs in 21-65% of patients receiving general anesthesia (GA) with endotracheal intubation. Effective prevention of postoperative sore throat is thus needed. The inhaled corticosteroids deliver the drug to the site of action without systemic effects. Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory effects.

Background and Aims: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a stereotypical postoperative complication that usually occurs in approximately 21%–65% of patients who are under general anaesthesia and is ranked around eighth among the most undesirable subjective and unpleasant complaints by the society of American anaesthesiologist after general anaesthesia. As airway management is a crucial factor in the causation of POST, various methods, especially non-pharmacological, are used to reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat with the use of a small-sized endotracheal tube with low intracuff pressures. The tracheal tube is applied with other agents that may help in reducing the symptoms such as steroids, lozenges, lignocaine, ketamine gargles, inhalation of steroids (also included in pharmacological methods used for reducing the incidence of postoperative sore throat). Aim and Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic low-dose nebulised dexamethasone for decreasing the incidence of post-extubation sore throat and to evaluate the complications of low-dose dexamethasone nebulisation in patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia. Patients and Methods: The study was done in the Anaesthesiology Department of Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MMIMSR) Mullana, Ambala, after institutional ethical committee approval and written, informed consent was obtained from the patients from March 2021 to March 2022 with a group size of Group S – 25 patients and Group D – 25 patients. Observation and Results: The results showed that patients in the dexamethasone group had a lower POST rate compared to the control group. Conclusion: We concluded that a low dose of 4 mg dexamethasone was effective in reducing the incidence and severity of POST in patients after anaesthesia, and no side effects compared to 4 mg normal saline.
