Background: Postoperative sore throat is important because it might be an indication of intubation-related airway damage and has a direct impact on patient satisfaction and comfort. To improve healing and avoid other issues, this symptom must be identified and managed as soon as possible. Sore throat is the most common complication in patients who undergo endotracheal intubation for anesthesia.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the incidence and factors associated with postoperative sore throat in patients receiving endotracheal intubation in the nursing profession at Chumphon Khet Udomsakdi Hospital.
Methodology: This was a retrospective analytic study, in which patient data were collected from medical records from January 1 to January 31, 2023. The data were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis to control for confounding factors.
Results: The study included 450 patients who received endotracheal intubation, and 50 (11.11%) reported postoperative sore throat. Two factors were found to be significantly associated with postoperative sore throat: difficult intubation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 10.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.24–81.9, p = 0.001) and body weight over 80 kg (adjusted OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.26–5.4, p = 0.009).
Conclusion: After endotracheal intubation, 11.11% of the 450 individuals in the research experienced postoperative sore throat. Body weight exceeding 80 kg for 5 seconds and challenging intubation were two important risk variables for this symptom. The clinical significance of this complication is highlighted by the study's finding that 11.11% of patients had postoperative sore throat following endotracheal intubation. Additionally, a body weight of more than 80 kg and a difficult intubation were significant risk factors, indicating that methods to manage body weight and lessen intubation difficulty may decrease the likelihood of this negative result.
