Risk of respiratory distress in the patients who were applied nasal packing at the end of nasal surgery

We conclude that in patients who are applied nasal packing at the end of nasal surgery; at AA-4 h and AS-4 h times, there may be risk of decrease in the oxygen saturation and respiratory rate parameters, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor non-invasive respiratory parameters and to give enriched oxygen by an oral catheter.
