Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of placing stylet during tracheal intubation on the post-operative complications in anesthetized patients.
Study Design: A Randomized control trial.
Place and Duration: Department of Anesthesia and ICU, Nishtar Hospital Multan. From 10 January 2017 to 17 June 2017
Methodology: All these patients were divided into two groups, Group S (stylet group) and group C (control group). Total 386 patients were enrolled through non probability sampling and divided in two equal groups by lottery method. Predesigned Performa was used to collected data regarding demographic variables like age and gender, and out variables like airway maintenance, pharyngeal pain and sore throat.
Results: A total number of 386 patients were included in this study, both genders. It was noted that group (S) showed easy airway maintenance in 95.9% patients. In group (S), 63.2% patients complained sore throat and 67.4% complained about pharyngeal pain. In group (C), only 8.3% patients complained about sore throat and 11.4% complained about pharyngeal pain.
Conclusion: Use of stylet during endotracheal intubation make the airway maintenance easy for the anesthetist but on the other side it has complications like sore throat and post intubation pharyngeal pain more than those patients in which stylet was not used.
