This study aimed to compare the effects of lavender and rosemary extracts on sore throat and hoarseness after endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Randomized clinical trial.
This study was conducted on 90 patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy at Bahonar Hospital in Kerman in 2021. The patients were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to three groups: lavender, rosemary, and control. After general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, an anesthesiologist put sterile gauzes impregnated with 3 cc of rosemary and lavender extracts into patients' throats in the intervention groups, while the control group received 3 cc of distilled water. After the surgery, the gauzes and tracheal tubes were removed and the patients were transferred to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), their sore throat and hoarseness were measured and recorded during and 2 to 6 to 24 hours after recovery. A significance level of < .05 was considered.
The study results showed a significant difference in the severity of sore throat between the 3 groups 2, 6, and 24 hours after surgery; sore throat in the rosemary group and then in the lavender group was lower than that in the control group (P < .05). The results also indicated a significant difference in hoarseness intensity between the three groups 2 and 6 hours after surgery; hoarseness intensity in the rosemary and lavender groups was lower than that in the control group, but it was not different between 3 groups 24 hours after surgery (P < .05).
Rosemary and lavender extracts had a positive effect on sore throat and hoarseness. As these herbs cause no complications in patients and are available and inexpensive, further studies are necessary to confirm the use of these herbs during intubation.
本研究旨在比较薰衣草提取物和迷迭香提取物对接受经皮肾镜取石术患者气管插管后咽痛和声音嘶哑的影响。
随机临床试验。
本研究于2021年在克尔曼的巴霍纳尔医院对90例接受经皮肾镜取石术的患者进行。采用便利抽样法选取患者，并随机分为三组：薰衣草组、迷迭香组和对照组。在气管插管全身麻醉后，干预组的麻醉医生将浸有3毫升迷迭香提取物和薰衣草提取物的无菌纱布放入患者咽喉部，而对照组则接受3毫升蒸馏水。手术后，取出纱布和气管导管，将患者转移至麻醉后护理单元（PACU），在恢复期间及恢复后2至6至24小时测量并记录其咽痛和声音嘶哑情况。显著性水平设定为<0.05。
研究结果显示，术后2、6和24小时，三组患者咽痛严重程度存在显著差异；迷迭香组和薰衣草组的咽痛程度低于对照组（P<0.05）。结果还表明，术后2和6小时，三组患者声音嘶哑强度存在显著差异；迷迭香组和薰衣草组的声音嘶哑强度低于对照组，但术后24小时三组之间无差异（P<0.05）。
迷迭香提取物和薰衣草提取物对咽痛和声音嘶哑有积极作用。由于这些草药不会给患者带来并发症，且易于获取且价格低廉，因此有必要进行进一步研究以证实这些草药在插管期间的应用。
