Meta AnalysisLidocaine for postoperative sore throat: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication after tracheal intubation. Various studies have examined the efficacy of interventions using lidocaine to prevent POST. Here, we present a meta-analysis assessing their efficacy. ⋯ This meta-analysis indicated that intracuff lidocaine and intravenous lidocaine are effective in preventing POST. In addition, intracuff lidocaine was associated with reducing the risk of both cough and hoarseness.

Randomized Controlled TrialLong-term effect of oxycodone/naloxone on the management of post-operative pain after hysterectomy: a randomised prospective study.
The analgesic efficacy of oxycodone prolonged-release (PR) combined with naloxone PR (OXN) in postoperative pain management is recognized, however, few studies have examined the efficacy of OXN on pain relief and bowel function following hysterectomy. This study compared the effect of OXN vs. standard treatment for post-operative pain management and bowel function following hysterectomy. ⋯ Improved pain control, bowel function and reduced side effects were observed with OXN compared to morphine in patients who underwent hysterectomy.
