Abstract

Introduction: Postoperative Sore Throat (POST) is an undesirable common complaint following general anesthesia. The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of sore throat and hoarseness of voice following endotracheal intubation using McIntosh laryngoscope or king vision video laryngoscope.

Methodology: It was a prospective randomized control trial in which 200 ASA 1 and 2 patients, scheduled for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation were randomly allocated to VCL (Video laryngoscope) and MCL (McIntosh laryngoscope) Group. Endotracheal intubation was performed using McIntosh Laryngoscope in MCL Group and kingvision video laryngoscope in VCL Group. POST and hoarseness was assessed at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. Incidence of sore throat, hoarseness of voice, laryngoscopy time and ease of insertion was noted and compared.

Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of sore throat and hoarseness of voice between the Two Groups . However, duration of laryngoscopy was longer in VCL Group. Conclusion: Incidence of Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness of voice does not alter when Kingvision video laryngoscope as compared to McIntosh laryngoscope is used for endotracheal intubation, however the time taken for laryngoscopy and intubation is longer with kingvision video laryngoscope
