Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Pain
• Interventions: Device: Nasotracheal intubation; Device: Laryngeal mask airway

• Registration Number: NCT03197753
• Lead Sponsor: Aydin Adnan Menderes University

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective, randomised, controlled clinical trial was to compare immediate postoperative discomfort, emergence delirium and recovery time of the patients intubated using either laryngeal mask airway or nasotracheal intubation.

Detailed Description

A total of 70 children aged 3 to 7 years received full mouth dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Children were randomly grouped into Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) group (n=35) and nasotracheal intubation (NTI) groups (n=35). In LMA group LMA was inserted after anesthesia induction using 8% sevoflurane. In NTI group rocuronium and remifentanil were given intravenously during %8 sevoflurane induction and the patients were intubated by a nasotracheal tube. After completion of the dental treatments patients were transferred to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Duration of dental operation ,duration of anesthesia, recovery time, postoperative discomfort, emergence delirium, pediatric dentist's access were recorded.
