Abstract
Background: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complaint after general anesthesia. POST is defined by the presence of a self-reported foreign body sensation or a painful sensation in the throat after general anesthesia. This condition may affect recovery and patient satisfaction and is associated with many factors, including intubation tools. Previous studies have reported conflicting results on POST. This retrospective cohort study, with sample size of 9,881 patients, was conducted to confirm the hypothesis that the use of video laryngoscopy (VL) is associated with a lower incidence of POST compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL).
Methods: Data were extracted from a prospectively maintained quality improvement database. A total of 9,881 patients were included in the study. Statistical analysis was conducted for comparisons of demographic characteristics and to determine the effect of intubation tools on the incidence of POST.
Results: The patients had similar baseline demographic characteristics. Compared with DL, VL was associated with a lower incidence of POST (12.98% vs. 17.49%, P < 0.001). In addition, the use of Pentax Airway Scope (AWS) was associated with a lower incidence of POST compared with the use of GlideScope (GVL, 8.14% vs. 16.25%, P < 0.001). To better adjust for possible confounding factors, mixed-effects generalized linear model analysis revealed that older age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.995, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.992-0.999, P = 0.006), AWS compared to DL (OR: 0.416, 95% CI: 0.350-0.494, P < 0.001), and male sex (OR: 0.836, 95% CI: 0.747-0.935, P = 0.002) are associated with reduced incidence of POST.
Conclusion: Compared with DL, VL is associated with a lower incidence of POST. In addition, the use of AWS is associated with a lower incidence of POST compared with the use of GVL.

GlideScope、Pentax Airway Scope 和 Macintosh Blade 对术后咽喉痛发生率的影响:一项针对 9881 名患者的队列研究。
背景:术后咽喉痛(POST)是全身麻醉后的常见症状。术后咽喉痛的定义是全身麻醉后咽喉部出现自我报告的异物感或疼痛感。这种情况可能会影响术后恢复和患者满意度,并与插管工具等多种因素有关。以往的研究对 POST 的报告结果相互矛盾。这项回顾性队列研究的样本量为 9,881 例患者,旨在证实以下假设:与直接喉镜检查(DL)相比,使用视频喉镜检查(VL)与较低的 POST 发生率相关:方法:数据提取自一个前瞻性维护的质量改进数据库。研究共纳入 9881 名患者。研究对人口统计学特征进行了比较,并确定了插管工具对 POST 发生率的影响:结果:患者的基线人口统计学特征相似。与 DL 相比,VL 的 POST 发生率较低(12.98% vs. 17.49%,P 结论:VL 对 POST 的发生率影响较小:与 DL 相比,VL 与较低的 POST 发生率相关。此外,使用 AWS 与使用 GVL 相比,POST 的发生率更低:回顾性注册,NCT06515808,注册日期:2024年7月23日。
