Background and objectives
This study was designed to compare the use of the classic laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube in children undergoing minor surgeries in the prone position.
Insertion of endotracheal tube requires the use of direct laryngoscopy, which may cause sympathetic stimulation and laryngopharyngeal complications [1].
Supraglottic airway devices have been used to maintain the airway as they are less invasive compared to endotracheal tubes[2].
The laryngeal mask airway is a supraglottic device used to maintain the airway during surgery[3]. It is used widely to maintain the airway in general anesthesia for many surgeries in children[4] .
This device has many advantages over tracheal tubes[5] , it is easily inserted[6] , causes less homodynamic effects [7] , and few complication for the larynx and vocal cords[8,9] .
The LMA is effective during spontaneous and positive pressure ventilation [10] . it has been used successfully in adult patients who needed controlled ventilation during operations in prone position[11] .
The maintenance of anesthesia with LMA in the prone position is controversies ,some anesthetists prefer it due to easy insertion and ventilation, low rate of dislodgement[12].
It has been used to maintain airway in prone position for spontaneously breathing patients and controlled ventilation[13].
The use of the LMA in surgeries performed in
prone position has been increasing[14]
Anesthetists used LMA in spontaneously breathing patients in prone position [15,16] and as a successful rescue device in
cases of displaced endotracheal tubes in prone position[17].
Alexander Ng et al [18] reported that it can be used to induce and maintain anesthesia in the prone position without significant complications.
No previous reports compared the use of classic laryngeal mask airway to the endotracheal tube in children undergoing elective surgeries in prone position.
