Abstract

In a prospective study of 150 patients randomly assigned to three groups, we have compared the incidence and duration of sore throat after a standard anaesthetic regimen using three different methods of airway management: facemask; laryngeal mask, and laryngeal mask with insertion aid. The insertion...
