Summary
BackgroundLaryngeal mask airways (LMAs) are widely used in surgery and are considered to be generally safe. Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a frequent complication following LMA use and can be very distressing to patients. The use of a laryngeal mask airway cuff pressure of between 23 and 24mmhg in alleviating postoperative sore throat has not been investigated.Primary objective¿ To determine the occurrence of POST between the intervention group in which LMA cuff pressures will be adjusted to 23-24mmhg and the control group in whom only monitoring of LMA cuff pressures will be done Secondary Objectives¿ To compare the laryngeal mask airway pressures between the two study groups¿ To determine the severity of postoperative sore throat between the two study groups
