Optimization for Laryngeal Mask Removal Strategy and Evaluation of Transitional Criteria From PACU in Children

Completed
Conditions
Complication of Device Removal
Interventions
Behavioral: LMA removal
Registration Number
NCT04711174
Lead Sponsor
Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University
Brief Summary

Laryngeal mask airway(LMA) is now a widely accepted airway device in general anesthesia for children. LMA removal after operation is always practiced in post-anesthesia-care-unit(PACU). The removal timing depends on recovery of spontaneous respiration and wash-out of inhalation anesthetics. This study focuses on the optimization for LMA removal strategy. Moreover, this study also discusses the transitional criteria from PACU to the ward.

Detailed Description

The study recruits 180 children aged under 6-year-old undergoing elective general anesthesia. Laryngeal mask is used in procedure. The children are carried into PACU to get monitored and removal the LMA. The children are randomized into 4 groups.

movement,low Aldrete score group (ML group)LMA removalLMA removal be conducted when the child's spontaneous respiratory recovers with body movement spontaneously, and the child be transited from PACU when Aldrete score reaches 7
movement,high Aldrete score group (MH group)LMA removalLMA removal be conducted when the child's spontaneous respiratory recovers with body movement spontaneously, and the child be transited from PACU when Aldrete score reaches 9
sedation,low Aldrete score group (SL group)LMA removalLMA removal be conducted when the child's spontaneous respiratory recovers but with no body movement, and the child be transited from PACU when Aldrete score reaches 7
sedation,high Aldrete score group (SH group)LMA removalLMA removal be conducted when the child's spontaneous respiratory recovers but with no body movement, and the child be transited from PACU when Aldrete score reaches 9
