“…The incidence of sore throat postoperatively following tracheal intubation varies considerably [13–15] and is influenced by many factors including the type and size of the tracheal tube [16–19], the placement of a nasogastric tube [20], lubrication [14], administration of succinylcholine [13, 21] and the use of a pharyngeal pack [3, 17].…”

SummaryThe efficacy of pharyngeal packing in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing nasal surgery was evaluated in a prospective randomised controlled study. The effect of the presence of the pharyngeal pack on the incidence of postoperative sore throat was also assessed. One hundred patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups; the first had packing and the second received no packing. The placement of a pharyngeal pack was found to have no effect on the incidence of PONV but was associated with a significantly increased incidence of sore throat. The absence of a pharyngeal pack was not associated with an increase in postoperative aspiration or vomiting. We conclude that the routine placement of pharyngeal packs during uncomplicated nasal surgery has no effect on the incidence of PONV and will increase the incidence of postoperative sore throat.

“…The packing is also thought to prevent the ingestion and aspiration of blood, cartilage and bone fragments. However, packing is not devoid of its own associated risks that include throat pain (TP), pharyngeal plexus trauma and oedema of the oro/hypopharynx [3][4][5][6]. There is also the potentially devastating complication of upper airway obstruction, if removal of the pack postoperatively was omitted [6].…”

“…4 and might therefore be considered as potentially better agents in drawover anaesthesia. Both have been used as sole agents in this way, without the addition of trichloroethylene.7B Consideration of the physical properties of the volatile anaesthetics suggests that enflurane and isoflurane would be characterised by a more rapid induction and r e c~v e r y .~ However, previous evaluation of these aspects has yielded contradictory result^.^^-'^ This study set out not to clarify these purely theoretical aspects but to assess the performance of enflurane and isoflurane in the Triservice apparatus from the user's point of view.…”
