Orlando, Fla.—Both endotracheal tubes (ETTs) and supraglottic airways (SGAs) are safe airway management options for outpatient sinus surgery. Early results from a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study suggest that, for the most part, there is no difference in outcomes or complications between the two methods. The study focused on differences in postoperative complications, such as nausea and vomiting, pain scores, opioid use, sore throat and voice changes.
