Abstract:
[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of accurate airway humidification on hemorrhage, pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity in patients with low-temperature plasma coblation-assisted tonsillectomy.METHODS58 cases were divided into three groups by using random numbers.In accurate airway humidification group, atomizing inhalation was carried out by AIRVOTM series apparatus; in oxygen atomizing group, budesonide suspension was used; in control group, saline was used. We evaluated the hemorrhage, pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity in 3 consecutive postoperative days.RESULTSPharyngalgia in accurate airway humidification group and in oxygen atomizing group were both significantly reduced than that of the control group (P<0.001). Besides, in accurate airway humidification group, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity were significantly improved than that of the oxygen atomizing group (P<0.05) and control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONAccurate airway humidification could reduce the complications such as pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and purulent sputum after low-temperature plasma coblation-assisted tonsillectomy, and could accelerate recovery from surgery.
