Trial Finds Fewer Breathing Complications With Laryngeal Masks in Child Adenotonsillectomy
A multicentre randomised trial in China found fewer perioperative respiratory adverse events among children aged 2 to under 7 who received a laryngeal mask rather than an endotracheal tube during adenotonsillectomy. The findings apply to a selected group treated by experienced anaesthesiologists at high-volume hospitals.
