Throat packs; are we compliant with NPSA guidelines?

The use of throat packs can be contentious with the decision undertaken by surgeon, anaesthetist or both. Blackburn and Knepil undertook a national BAOMS questionnaire on throat pack usage in 2008. Afterwards National Patient Safety Advice (NPSA) guidelines followed with no subsequent update. We report an audit of compliance with these in Hull Royal Infirmary.
