Background
postoperative sore throat, SAD
Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are widely used for securing the airway and are known to be less invasive than endotracheal tubes. Consequently, compared to endotracheal tubes, SADs lead to lesser hemodynamic changes while inserting the devices and cause lesser irritation to the trachea, which can cause postoperative sore throat [Propofol is the preferred drug for SAD insertion because of its ability to suppress the airway reflex [Remimazolam is a new anesthetic drug developed and is an ultra-short-acting agent with a rapid onset and a short context-sensitive halftime of 6.8 ± 2.4 min (mean ± standard deviation, SD) allowing fast recovery [For short surgical procedures or outpatient anesthesia, the fast offset of NMBAs is a prime issue. Therefore, some authors recommend an induction regimen using propofol combined with a short-acting opioid without using NMBAs, as it provides a safe and fast recovery without residual effects of NMBAs [
