The effects of topical chlorhexidine-benzydamine spray on laryngeal mask airway application.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use is very common during anesthesia practice. Sore throat, earache, hoarseness and swallowing difficulties may occur on LMA insertion. The primary aim of this study was to describe the effects of topical application of a spray formula of chlorhexidine gluconate and benzydamine hydrochloride (Kloroben® oral spray, 30 mL) on postoperative sore throat due to LMA use. The secondary aims were to evaluate earache, swallowing difficulty, nausea and vomiting and the hemodynamic responses due to LMA insertion and the incidence of coughing, tooth clenching, desaturation and laryngeal spasms during LMA removal. ⋯ Preemptive topical benzydamine hydrochloride and chlorhexidine gluconate in a spray formula may decrease the incidence of sore throat, cough and swallowing difficulties associated with LMA use.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of remote ischemic preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing liver resection: a randomized controlled trial.
Studies in animal models have shown that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) could protect the liver from hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). The aim of this study was to examine whether RIPC could reduce HIRI in patients undergoing liver resection. ⋯ RIPC could reduce hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury after liver resection.
