No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery requiring double-lumen tube intubation are randomized into two groups; gum group and control group. In the gum group, patients are instructed to chew gum for 2 minutes, approximately 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Patients in the control group are instructed to swallow saliva twice. Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are assessed 30 minutes after recovery room admission, and at 2 and 24 hours after extubation.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted
  • Chewing Gum
  • Pharyngeal Diseases

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Chewing a piece of gum (Xylitol gum, LOTTE WELLFOOD, Korea) before induction of anesthesia

To replicate Xylitol chewing gum, which has been shown to reduce postoperative sore throat in previous studies of single-lumen endotracheal tubes and supraglottic airways, the investigators will use a commercially available gum from South Korea.
