Perbandingan Penggunaan Topikal Spray Benzidamin HCl 0,15% dan Gel Lidokain 2% pada Pipa Endotrakeal terhadap Kejadian Nyeri Tenggorok Pascaintubasi Endotrakeal

Abstract

Postoperative sore throat is common and unpleasant after endotracheal anesthesia. This study was conducted to determine whether the use of benzydamine hcl 0.15% can further reduce the incidence of sore throat compared to lidocaine gel 2% in patients under endotracheal anesthesia. This experimental study was a randomized control trial (RCT) in 90 patients with ASA physical status I–II, aged 18–60 years who underwent elective surgery in the central surgical operating room of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during the period of June to August 2014. Patients were divided in benzydamine group, lidocaine group, and NaCl group. The hemodynamic changes were noted during surgery. The endotracheal tube cuff pressure was maintained below 25 mmHg and a graded scale for sore throat was performed at 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours (T2, T6, T24) after surgery. Statistical tests using t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square test were conducted. From the results, the incidence of sore throat in the benzydamine HCL group was significantly lower than in the lidoccaine HCL group at 6 hours after surgery (T6; p<0.05). It is concluded that benzydamin HCL 0.15% spray is able to reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat when compared to lidocaine 2% gel.
