Efficacy of flexible laryngeal mask airway and sevoflurane in pediatric strabismus surgery / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of flexible laryngeal mask airway and sevoflurane in pediatric strabismus surgery. Methods Totally 60 children undergoing elective strabismus surgery were recruited and divided into two groups with 30 cases each by random digits tablegroup T, in which children accepted endotracheal tube intubation and combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia with mechanically ventilation; and group F, in which children adopted both flexible laryngeal mask airway and inhalation anesthesia of sevoflurane with spontaneous breath. Airway peak pressure (Ppeak), average airway pressure (Pmean), blood pressure (Bp) and heart rate (HR) at induction (T1), 1 min (T2), 3 min (T3) and 5 min (T4) after induction, removal of endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway (T5), awaking time and extubation time, occurrence of cough, dysphoria and pharyngodynia from being awake to extubation, satisfaction of patients were recorded. Results When compared to baseline, systolic pressure was lower at T, and higher at T2, T3 and T5, and HR was higher at T2-T5 in group T(P< 0.05),Bp was lower at T1-T4 in group F (P < 0.05). Bp and HR at T2-T5 in group F were lower than those in group T (P < 0.05). The awaking time was (8.1 ?2.6) min, the extubation time was (12.6 ?3.2) min, the occurrence of cough and pharyngodynia was 66.7%(20/30), 40.0%( 12/30), the dysphoria (0-1 score) was 7 cases in group T,(5.2 ± 1.1) min, (6.3 ± 1.5) rain,0,6.7%(2/30),25 cases in group F. There were significant differences between two groups (P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients in group F was higher than that in group T, there was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.05). Conclusion Flexible laryngeal mask airway with sevoflurane could offer high efficacy in pediatric strabismus surgery.
