Using Gengigel to Moisten Throat Packs in Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study investigates the use of Gengigel spray, a hyaluronic acid-based product, to moisten throat packs during elective surgeries involving the oral cavity and pharynx. Traditional throat packs are typically moistened with saline, but this study aims to explore the potential benefits of Gengigel, which is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. By using Gengigel, the study seeks to reduce postoperative throat pain and discomfort, thereby improving recovery and patient satisfaction. The study includes patients classified as ASA I-II, aged 18 to 60, and excludes those with pre-existing sore throats or difficult airway concerns.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Classified as ASA I-II, indicating a relatively low risk of complications from anesthesia
2. Aged between 18 and 60 years, which represents a typical adult surgical population
3. Both male and female patients, ensuring gender inclusivity and representation in the study findings

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Existing sore throat prior to surgery, which could affect the baseline measurement of postoperative sore throat.
2. Anticipation of a difficult airway, as these patients may require specialized intubation techniques that are not standardized across the study.
3. More than two attempts at endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion, as multiple attempts could cause additional trauma and skew the study outcomes.
4. Any trauma occurring during intubation, which could independently contribute to postoperative sore throat and other complications
