Methods Two hundred pediatric patients who developed glos?soptosis during the emergence from anesthesia, aged 2-8 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number tablehead extension position group ( group A ) , head tilted position group ( group B ) , oropharyngeal airway group ( group C) and sniffing position group ( group D) . Alleviation of glossoptosis, and occurrence of la?ryngospasm, agitation, vomiting and oral hemorrhage were recorded. Alleviation rate was calculated. Re?sults Compared with group A, the alleviation rate was significantly increased in C and D groups, the alle?viation rate was decreased in group B, and the incidence of laryngospasm, agitation and oral hemorrhage was increased in group C ( P<0?05 ) .
