Throat pack (TP) is commonly used during oral and-maxillofacial surgeries to prevent aspiration of blood and tissue debris intraoperatively as well as during extubation. A missing TP could potentially lead to catastrophic complications like total airway obstruction that could have medicolegal repercussions. There is no clear consensus regarding personnel responsible for insertion and removal of TP and measures to prevent TP retention.[1-4] Also, there is no Indian data on the prevalence of use of TPs, the incidence of any untoward events due to their usage and guidelines to prevent TP retention. Hence, we conducted this cross-sectional survey to find out the current practices and the perception of Indian anaesthesiologists towards the use of TP and recommend the best practices to prevent this complication.
