However, procedures involving the oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal region may lead to the ingestion of blood, which can lead to postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). To date, limited studies have largely failed to demonstrate the benefits of oropharyngeal throat packing.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The authors aimed to investigate whether throat packing during elective septorhinoplasty increases the incidence of postoperative throat pain and assess its effects on PONV.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A randomized, prospective, single-blinded study was performed on 101 patients undergoing elective septorhinoplasty who received oropharyngeal throat packing vs no packing to compare the incidence of PONV and throat pain in the immediate postoperative period in addition to postoperative day (POD) 1 and 2.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The incidence and severity of postoperative throat pain were significantly greater in patients receiving throat packs in the immediate postoperative period and on POD 1. Significant differences in throat pain and incidence between the 2 groups diminished by POD 2. Patients having received throat packs also demonstrated a higher utilization of opioids in postanesthesia care unit. The incidence of PONV did not significantly differ between the 2 cohorts at any point of observations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results of this study largely agree with previous data that throat packs may contribute to postoperative throat pain while not significantly altering the incidence of PONV.
