dc.description.abstractAbstract Introduction: Postoperative sore throat is the second most common minor adverse event after general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation. It is an uncomfortable and stressful sequel of tracheal intubation. The incidence of postoperative sore throat varies across different studies and type of anesthesia technique used. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of postoperative sore throat following general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the patients who underwent surgery under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation from 1 December 2022 to 31 October 2023 after receiving ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. The anaesthesia technique was standardized in all the patients. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 200 patients, postoperative sore throat was seen in 86 (43%) (36.14-49.86, 95% Confidence Interval) patients. The maximum reported time of sore throat was at a fourth postoperative hour 80 (93.02%). Conclusions: The prevalence of postoperative sore throat among patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation was similar to the studies conducted in similar settings.
