Change in mean postoperative pain in patients undergoing tonsillectomy with cold water versus usual practice: A pragmatic trial.
Abstract
Seventy-eight patients were included in the study. The mean age of our patients was 10.26 (4.24) years old in the intervention arm, and 11.95 (4.19) years old in the control arm. It was observed that the pain was significantly lower in patients with cold water irrigation of the tonsillar fossa on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 (pā=ā0.001). There were no readmissions postprocedure and none of our patients developed any complications postsurgery.
