The Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Tube in General Anesthesia for Premature Neonates

The Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Tube in Premature Neonates Undergoing General Anesthesia for Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery

Objectives: To compare the perioperative respiratory adverse events between using laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube in preterm neonates receiving general anesthesia for hernia surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The participant patients will be randomly allocated into two groups: the laryngeal mask airway group (LMA group) and endotracheal tube group (ETT group). Masking ventilation with sevoflurane will be used for anesthesia induction till the adequate anesthetic depth. Intubation with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or endotracheal tube (ETT) will be done as allocated group. After the surgery completed and the patient wakened up, the anesthesiologist will remove the LMA or ETT according to the clinical criteria for extubation.
