A prospective observational cohort study on the incidence of postoperative sore throat in the paediatric population.

CONCLUSION: Postoperative sore throat is common in children. Endotracheal intubation is associated with a greater incidence than laryngeal mask airway use. A high rate of postoperative sore throat in children with endotracheal tube cuff pressures within the recommended range suggests multifactorial aetiology. To confirm validity of the identified risk-factors, we would recommend a larger prospective multi-centre study. PMID: 31610063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
