pubmed:abstractText
Thirty-seven patients underwent gastroscopy under pharyngeal anaesthesia with benzocaine-tetracaine (Endospray; Axcan Pharma). Patients recorded their perception of intubation, of the rest of the procedure, of taste and of throat well-being on visual analogue scales. Throat well-being and taste scores were better for men than for women. There was a strong trend for smokers to be more intolerant to intubation than nonsmokers. There was a weak but significant correlation for younger patients to be more intolerant to intubation. This study points to age and smoking status as possible factors influencing the perception of gastroscopy under pharyngeal anesthesia.
