Clinical effect and safety analysis of laryngeal mask anesthesia for children's surgeries

Objective To investigate the clinical value and safety of laryngeal mask anesthesia for children's surgeries. Methods Seventy-six patients admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2011 were randomly divided into two groups, treatment group (n=38) and control group (n=38). The control group was given tracheal intubation anesthesia with isoflurane combined anesthesia; but the treatment group was given laryngeal mask anesthesia with sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia. The total operation time, the awakening time, the extubation time, the incidence of complications after extubation, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation(SpO2) in the two groups was observed and compared. Results The total of operation time in the treatment group was similar as that in the control group. The awakening time, and extubation time in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P0.05). The incidence of extubation cough, laryngeal edema, dysphagia, restlessness in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P0.05). The SpO2 index value in the treatment group was similar as that in the control group. The MAP, the HR index value of T1 and T3 in the treatment group were significantly more steady than those in the control group (P0.05). Conclusion There is a significant clinical effect of laryngeal mask anesthesia for children's surgeries.
