Background and Aims: Post-operative sore throat (POST) is often considered an inevitable consequence of tracheal intubation. This study was performed to compare the effect of inhaled budesonide suspension, administered using a metered dose inhaler, on the incidence and severity of POST. Methods: In this prospective randomised study, 46 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries lasting <2 h were randomly allotted into two equal groups. Group A received 200 μg budesonide inhalation suspension, using a metered dose inhaler, 10 min before intubation, and repeated 6 h after extubation. No such intervention was performed in Group B. The primary outcome was the incidence and severity of POST. Secondary outocomes included the incidence of post-operative hoarseness and cough. Pearson's Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Independent sample t-test were used as applicable. Results: Compared to Group B, significantly fewer patients had POST in Group A at 2, 6, 12 and 24 h (P < 0.001). Although more patients in Group B had post-operative hoarseness of voice and cough at all-time points, the difference was statistically significant only at 12 h and 24 h for post-operative hoarseness and at 2 h and 12 h for post-operative cough. Severity as well as the incidence of POST showed downward trends in both groups over time, and by 24 h no patient in Group A had sore throat. Conclusion: Inhaled budesonide suspension is effective in significantly reducing the incidence and severity of POST.
