Throat packs for surgery. An improved design based on anatomical measurements
Anaesthesia
|June 1, 1977
Abstract:
A method of measuring the static dimensions of the human pharynx is presented. An entirely new approach to the design of both an oropharyngeal, and a pharyngeal throat pack is described. The new throat packs have been tested in clinical practice and found to have advantages. Pollution within the dental surgery by anaesthetic gases is discussed and the influence of the oropharyngeal pack on this problem is illustrated.
