LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 14, 2022  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – Stress and anxiety often accompany oral and maxillofacial surgery, but the common side effect of a postoperative sore throat from intubation increases patient complications. The intubation process can occur via direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy, or nasotracheal intubation procedures. Each intubation type has risk factors, but the common occurrence of a resulting sore throat has not been widely reviewed during nasotracheal intubation.

Key Points: 
  • Each intubation type has risk factors, but the common occurrence of a resulting sore throat has not been widely reviewed during nasotracheal intubation.
  • To determine the highest risk factors for postoperative sore throat in nasotracheal intubation, researchers from the Kyushu University Hospital and Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, recently published a retrospective study in the current issue of Anesthesia Progress.
  • Results of this retrospective analysis showed that postoperative sore throat occurred in 74.6% of patients who underwent nasotracheal intubation for oral or maxillofacial surgery.
