The use of throat packs in ear, nose and throat, oral and dental surgery: a systematic review.

CONCLUSION: The study was limited by methodological flaws of included trials, overall relatively low numbers of patients and difficulty in contacting authors to clarify information and obtain raw data. However, this systematic review found no evidence to support the use of throat packs. This supports the proposal that there is no indication for the routine use of throat packs in ENT, maxillofacial and dental procedures. PMID: 32452470 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
