This study aims to compare effects of two different agents on complications due to tracheal tube cuff in pediatric patients. Sore throat, hoarseness, laryngospasm, bronchospasm are the main complications.
In the literature there were studies about both local anesthetic agents and topical steroids and different densities of saline which were applied to decrease airway complications. In this study researchers intended to compare effects of local anesthetic agents and topical steroids applying around tracheal tube on airway complications which may occur in the first 24 hours after surgery. All pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery will be recruited. enrolled patients will randomly assigned in to three groups: Control group, local anesthetic group and topical steroid group.
