Summary
When a surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia, the Airways are often
secured With an endotracheal tube. Some patients experience sore throat thereafter. Studies
have shown a reduction of these side effects when by use of muscle relaxants or a lidocain
spray prior to the intubation. At Ostfold Hospital Trust, the investigators use one of the
two methods or nothing. These methods will be studied systematically.
