[Effect of gargling the throat with Panaxylocaine as a lubricant for the laryngeal mask airway].
We used Panaxylocaine as a suitable lubricant with gargling before insertion of laryngeal mask for twenty preoperative breast cancer patients. Patients were divided into two groups; Control group (N = 10) received water-based lidocaine gel just before insertion of laryngeal mask, and Panaxylocaine group (N = 10) received Panaxylocaine as a premedication for breast cancer operation. Compared to water-based lidocaine gel, Panaxylocaine was more effective for oral discomfort after insertion of laryngeal mask. But there was no difference between two groups about oral paresthesia. We conclude that Panaxylocaine is a good premedication before insertion of laryngeal mask preventing oral and pharyngeal complications.
