Overview
Brief Summary
The use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is increasing in pediatric anesthesia because it provides lesser direct mechanical stimulation of the airway due to being placed above the larynx. However, LMA insertion can be more difficult in children than in adults due to their unique characteristics of pediatric airway. Neuromuscular blocking agents, so-called, muscle relaxants have long been used to facilitate insertion of airway devices. But there are pros and cons for the efficacy of muscle relaxants in LMA insertion, and most studies were investigated in adults.

Intervention: rocuronium
NMR group
When the patients asleep, 0.3 mg/kg saline is administered.
Intervention: saline
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP)
Time Frame: During 1 min after successful LMA intubation
It was determined by the method describe by Lopez-Gil and colleagues. Briefly, it was measured by closing the expiratory valve of the circle system at a fixed gas flow of 3l/min, recording the airway pressure at which audible leak sound was heard.
Secondary Outcomes
- Intubation time(During 5-10 min after inhalation of sevoflurane)
- Ease of intubation/mask bagging(During 5-10 min after inhalation of sevoflurane)
- Fiberoptic view of LMA(During 5min after successful LMA insertion)
- Mean blood pressure(During 5-10 min after inhalation of sevoflurane)
- Heart rate(During 5-10 min after inhalation of sevoflurane)
- Watcha scale every 10 min from time to PACU admission to discharge(During 60 minutes after PACU admission)
- FLACC score on initial, 10, 20, and 30 min(During 60 minutes after PACU admission)
- Eye opening time(During 1 hour after operation)
- Extubation time(During 1 hour after operation)
- Peak inspiratory pressure before and after the surgery(During 4 hour after anesthetic inhalation)
- Tidal volume ratio before and after the surgery(During 4 hour after anesthetic inhalation)
- Respiratory adverse events(During 1 hour after operation)
- Postoperative complications(During 1 hour after operation)
