A study of LMA versus tracheal tube for tonsillectomy surgeries at tertiary health care center
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: worldwide WHO estimated that over 600 million people with a case of symptoms of tonsillitis occur annually i.e. 30% of world populations are effected by symptoms of tonsillitis In India it is estimated that approximately 7 sore throat episodes occur per child, there are 20-30 million cases of tonsillitis. Aims and Objectives: to study LMA versus tracheal tube for tonsillectomy surgeries at tertiary health care center. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the pediatric patients who needs Anesthesia for the surgery of tonsils at tertiary health care centre during the one year period i.e. June 2017 to June 2018. In the one year period there were there were 50 patients who needs tonsillectomy surgery, with written and explained consent were given general anesthesia with two different type of air way i.e. LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) and ETT (Endo-Tracheal Tube). The statistical analysis was done by unpaired t-test and analysed by SPSS 19 version software. Result: The mean age of ETA was 5.5 ±2.81 Yrs. and LMA was 6.1 ± 1.92 Yrs. was comparable with each other (p>0.05, df=48,t=1.23), the sex ratio in ETA group was 1.18 and 1.27 was comparable with each other . The surgical parameters like Surgical time(min) was comparable i.e. 39 ± 5.72 and 35.54 ± 3.87 (p>0.05,df=48.t=1.02); Other parameters were significantly higher in RTA like Extubation time (min)9.23 ± 5.39 and 4.12±2.91 (p<0.01,df=48,t=6.72);Total anesthesia time (min)- 81.12±15.12 and 65.13± 10.12 (p<0.05,df=48,t=5.78); PACU recovery time (min)-94.12 ± 23.12 and 79.12 ±12.14 (p<0.05,df=48,t=5.92 ) Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study except surgical time Extubation time Total anesthesia time, PACU recovery time was significantly higher in ETT.
