Efficacy of Lignocaine Jelly Versus Water-Based Lubricant in Preventing Postoperative Airway Morbidity After Endotracheal Intubation: A Prospective Comparative Study

Water-based lubricating jelly applied over the ETT is more effective than lignocaine jelly in reducing the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, cough, and hoarseness of voice. Being inexpensive, widely available, and devoid of potential systemic side effects of lignocaine, it may be recommended as a safer alternative for routine clinical practice.

Abstract

Water-based lubricating jelly applied over the ETT is more effective than lignocaine jelly in reducing the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, cough, and hoarseness of voice. Being inexpensive, widely available, and devoid of potential systemic side effects of lignocaine, it may be recommended as a safer alternative for routine clinical practice.
