Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of two doses of intra-cuff dexamethasone on sore throat after tracheal tube removal in patients undergoing cesarean section

A clinical trial with a control group and 2 three-way blinded and randomized intervention groups designed for 96 patients, which will be conducted between July and October 2024.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted under the supervision of the anesthesia department at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan. Patients are studied in three groups. Anesthesia conditions are the same in all patients. After umbilical cord clamping, 1 cc of dexamethasone were given to the first group and 2 cc of it given tosecond group and 2 cc of normal saline to the third group. After entering recovery, the severity of sore throat is measured through VAS by a person unaware of the study in three groups. The patient and the person who evaluates the severity of the sore throat do not know the type and amount of the injected substance.
