Airway Management and Weight in Children
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Perioperative Respiratory Adverse Events, Airway Management
In brief
The investigators in this study want to see how overweight/obese children who undergo elective surgery requiring airway management react to general anesthesia. They believe that the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE) associated with Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use during general anesthesia in overweight/obese children is lower than that associated with endotracheal intubation (ETT).
