Comparative evaluation of nebulized dexamethasone with nebulized dexmedetomidine for reduction in incidence of post-operative sore throat in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation

132 Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into three equal groups. Group S will receive 8mg nebulized dexamethasone. Group D will receive 50mcg nebulized dexmedetomidine and Group P will receive 5ml nebulized normal saline. The incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat along with incidence of hoarseness of voice and cough will be observed at four different time points after extubation
