Official Title: Hyomental Distance Measured Ultrasonography Versus Weight-based Criteria for Laryngeal Mask Size Selection in Children. A Prospective, Randomised Controlled Study
Brief Summary:
In pediatric surgery and emergencies, LMA represents a useful airway management device for routine and difficult airway management.Inserting an improper LMA size may result in malposition, displacement within the hypopharynx, and failed ventilation that needs repositioning.Selection of the size of LMA represents a major challenge for anesthesiologists, especially in children.The ultrasonographic measured hyomental distance showed a correlation with the length of the pharyngeal cavity.Optimization of the size of…
