The present study was performed with the aim of comparing the peak inspiratory pressure and lung dynamic compliance between a classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and an endotracheal tube in children under mechanical ventilation. ⋯ A laryngeal mask airway due to its low airway resistance and high dynamic compliance is an acceptable alternative to a tracheal tube during mechanical ventilation and it can be a good alternative to the endotracheal tube, especially during mechanical ventilation of children, in whom avoidance of barotrauma is desirable.
