Study aim
-
Comparison of standard and lateral methods of laryngeal mask airway insertion in pediatric airway management (Number of attempts to insert laryngeal mask, mucosal damage, duration of laryngeal mask insertion, airway pressure and chest movement)
-
Design
-
In a concealed, randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial with a parallel-group design of 68 patients, simple randomization took place (Box of numbers)
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study was performed in Shahid Motahari Hospital in Urmia to investigate the effect of laryngeal masks on airway management (Number of attempts to insert laryngeal mask, mucosal damage, duration of laryngeal mask insertion, airway pressure and chest movement) of patients undergoing elective inguinal hernia repair surgeries study as randomized double-blinded, controlled clinical trial patients and their parents were unaware of being in the intervention groups and a clinical evaluation was performed on the placement of patients in the study groups who were unaware
-

Intervention groups
-
In the first group, the laryngeal mask was standardized, and in the second group, it was installed in lateral.
