Sore throat cause you don't see 🙈

Показать описание

Sore throat after surgery is not uncommon, and it's because of the anesthesia typically. However, that sore throat is usually very temporary and gets better after an hour or two. I always discuss the risks and benefits with patients to make sure that we are safely administering the anesthesia and minimizing the risk of side effects, such as from the breathing tube causing a sore throat. This is the process called intubation, placing an endotracheal tube (ETT) or laryngeal mask airway (LMA), and connecting to a ventilator.

I have always wondered why and now, yes, I get it.

This is very under-explained to patients. As an RN (PACU/ICU), this is one of the most frequent things I end up explaining. Patients need to be more prepared for this.

The worst sore throats I have ever had were after my surgeries. I never imagined how big that was. No wonder it hurt!

Wow, that’s one thing I didn’t need to know about! Now all I can imagine is bruising and tearing, permanent damage.

Where does the breathing tube go if the patient is having surgery on their throat? Can you move it out of the way so the surgeon can work? Or is the tube not effective if you move it? Thanks! ❤❤❤

Just had a Hemi-Thyroidectomy last week and now I have vocal paralysis. 😢 The intubation tube was too big, according to what the doctors said. It was an 8 mm. I’m 5’4/158 lbs. Not sure why they would use that size on me. 😭 Now my singing voice is gone. My voice is gone in general.

I read studies about taking 50mg zinc lozenges prior to OT so cleared it with my medical team and took the lozenger 2 hours before surgery and first time ever, woke with no sore throat 🌻

So that's why my throat was sore after my surgery- no one ever told me about it, definitely under-explained...

I don't want to know any of this. MY JOB is to take a good nap. I'll leave the rest to you guys! 😂

Why does it make the throat sore, though? What does it do to it?

Hey! I had a rhinoplasty surgery of my nose as I was suffering from a lot of block nose and deviated septum and now from the third year I suffer from throat infection which feels weird than a sore throat and after that I get cough And this happens every month. Can you please tell me what can be the reason behind it, treat it and how to take precaution. To inform you I do smoke 6-7 cigarettes a day

I want to know who's responsible for pulling it out and are they careful or do they just whip it out fast any which way? Because I am still having trouble swallowing some foods after surgery 7 years ago. Is it the anesthesiologist him or herself, the surgi tech, a nurse, or some other assistant?
