Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Laryngeal mask airway vs face mask and Guedel airway during pediatric myringotomy.
To compare perioperative conditions when a face mask and Guedel oral airway (FM-OA) or a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) are used to maintain airway patency during bilateral myringotomy with insertion of tympanostomy tubes (BMT). ⋯ The LMA is an excellent alternative to the FM-OA technique for airway maintenance in children undergoing BMT procedures during halothane--N2O anesthesia.
