Does LMA Instead of ET Tube Affect Incidence of Postoperative Vomiting in Children Undergoing Strabismus Correction?

Completed

Conditions studied: Strabismus

In brief

The effect of airway management on vomiting after strabismus surgery is unknown. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the use of different airway devices, such as LMA, which is a special mask placed in the throat or Endotracheal tube (ET tube), which is a soft tube placed in the wind pipe, affects the incidence of vomiting after surgery. Two hundred six children between the ages of 2 and 12 years are expected to take part in this study.
