Comparison of post-operative recovery with or without pre-extubation throat wash in patients undergoing intranasal surgery under general anaesthesia

Conclusion Throat wash, after removal of throat pack in nasal surgery, ensures clearer airway and decreases the risk of adverse respiratory events in immediate post-extubation period. The adverse sequel due to un-recognised debris in the upper airway is minimised resulting in smooth recovery and rapid discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit.
