Airway Management and Weight in Children

June 21, 2019 updated by: Olubukola Nafiu, University of Michigan

Laryngeal Mask Airway Versus Endotracheal Intubation for Airway Management During General Anesthesia in Obese Children

The investigators in this study want to see how overweight/obese children who undergo elective surgery requiring airway management react to general anesthesia. They believe that the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE) associated with Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use during general anesthesia in overweight/obese children is lower than that associated with endotracheal intubation (ETT).
