Conclusions
cough
Compared with mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal tube, the THRIVE + LM ventilation strategy in patients undergoing microlaryngeal vocal cord polypectomy could accelerate the spontaneous respiration recovery, airway tool removal, and PACU discharge without compromising oxygenation. Furthermore, the incidence of cough decreased significantly under THRIVE + LM strategy. However, these benefits did not convert to the QoR-40 and VHI-10 score improvements.
