Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Complication in Children

May 17, 2016 updated by: AH-YOUNG OH, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Retrospective Investigation of Perioperative Upper Airway Complications After Anesthesia Using Supraglottic Airway Devices in Children: Comparison of Desflurane and Sevoflurane

Desflurane is known to be the most pungent of the currently used volatile anesthetics. The investigators tried to find out if desflurane increases the incidence of perioperative upper airway complications in infants and children undergoing general anesthesia using supraglottic airways compared to sevoflurane.
