Moffett’s Solution Causes Significantly Greater Postoperative Throat Pain Compared to Cophenylcaine in Sinonasal Surgery

Table 1

Patient demographics and airway preparation.

	Moffett’s solution; (n=20)	Cophenylcaine; (n=10)	p value; (odds ratio, 95% CI)
Mean age	44.6; (SD 18.1)	50.0; (SD 19.0)	0.63
Male	9 (45%)	5 (50%)	1.00; (1.22, 0.27-5.60)
Airway; Endotracheal tube; (ETT), n (%)	16 (80%)	9 (90%)	0.64; (0.44, 0.04-4.61)
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA), n (%)	4 (20%)	1 (10%)	0.64; (0.44, 0.04-4.61)
Throat pack, n (%)	3 (15%)	2 (20%)	1.00; (0.71, 0.10-5.10)

The majority of the patients in both arms received endotracheal intubation and did not receive throat packs. The two arms did not differ significantly in airway preparation.
