Abstract

 The apparent lack of laryngeal stimulation makes the LMA a potentially attractive alternative for airway management in children with upper respiratory tract infection. Upto 40% of children presenting for anaesthesia have a recent upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Although there is an increased risk of perioperative respiratory complications after a recent URI, anaesthesiologists often proceed with their management for two reasons­ It is uncertain how long to postpone the procedure after a URI, and there are adverse economic and emotional impacts resulting from cancellation of the procedure. Children weighing between 10 to 20 kg undergoing operative procedures in Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Attavar, Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Ambedkar Circle, Government Wenlock Hospital were the study subjects. The ease of insertion and number of attempts for insertion was compared in both groups. It was found that intubation was successful in first attempt in 92% of patients in endotracheal tube group and in 84% of patients in laryngeal mask airway group.
