Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Intubation in Paediatric Patients: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the subsequent factors that take place during laryngeal mask airway insertion and endotracheal intubation for surgical procedures under general anesthesia. The parameters compared were: Ease of insertion and number of efforts and Postoperative complications like laryngospasm, bronchospasm and sore throat. Materials and Methods: The study participants included 80 paediatric patients between the ages of 2–8 years. All the participants were schedule to experience optional surgeries under general anesthesia in the medical hospital. Results: LMA had advantages over the tracheal tube in the form of lower incidence of cough during appearance and lower occurrence of postoperative sore throat, though offered no advantage more than tracheal tube in occurrence of bronchospasm or laryngospasm during appearance. Conclusion: The LMA provides a reliable airway in children. Incidence of postoperative complications is also less with LMA than endotracheal tubes. Therefore, LMA is a appropriate option to endotracheal intubation for possible short surgical procedures in pediatric patients.
