Review Meta AnalysisAerosolized corticosteroids to prevent postoperative sore throat in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative sore throat negatively affects patient recovery and satisfaction levels. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of aerosolized corticosteroids in the prevention of postoperative sore throat in adults undergoing tracheal intubation for surgery. ⋯ Aerosolized corticosteroids may be superior to non-analgesic methods in preventing postoperative sore throat, but the evidence for efficacy and safety is still limited and not definitive.
