Survey of the use of laryngeal mask airway vs endotracheal tube for pediatric tonsillectomy in essex hospitals.

چکیده
Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in children. In the management of the pediatric airway for general anesthesia different adjuncts can be used such as endotracheal tube (ETT) and laryngeal mask airway (LMA). There are no agreed national guidelines or consensus in the United Kingdom (UK) for the selection of airway adjuncts in pediatric tonsillectomy, therefore selection depends on anesthetic or to a lesser extent surgical preference. A survey of the use of LMA vs. ETT in the UK carried out in 2005 revealed that an ETT was used in 79-87% of patients [1].

Post-operative sore throat is one of the most common complications and complaints of patients after general anesthesia especially in operations that need endotracheal intubations. Its causes are: size of endotracheal tube and type of its cuff, inadequate airway humidification, trauma during intubation and suctioning, high flow of inspiratory gases, surgical manipulation of airway and adjacent o...
متن کاملThe use of laryngeal mask airway in tonsillectomies.
I read the article written by Ranieri Junior et al. in your journal and aggree with the authors’ take. The use of a laryngeal mask airway in adenotonsillectomies is possible; however, the tracheal tube is safer compared to the laryngeal mask. In recent publications, the use of LMA is reported superior to endotracheal entubation at adenotonsillectomy operations. I believe that LMA use for pediat...

Introduction: One of the major concerns in laryngeal laser surgery is the risk of airway fire. The introduction ofwrapped tubes and metal tubes has reduced the fire hazards. However, these tubes are expensive and do not provide convenient access to the surgical field. There are few laboratory studies addressing the resistance of polyvinylchloride tubes against ignition in the given circum...

Background and purpose: The method of anesthesia affects intraocular pressure (IOP), especially general anesthesia which is sometimes administered with endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion. The aim of this research was to compare the effect of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and ETT on intraocular pressure in cataract surgery. Materials and methods: In a single blind randomized clinical trial, 61 pat...
