Clinical Trial: Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Intubation on Mechanical Power in Pediatric Patients

U.S., Nov. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07252674) titled 'Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Intubation on Mechanical Power in Pediatric Patients' on Nov. 18.

Brief Summary: This prospective observational study aims to compare two commonly used airway management methods-Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) and Endotracheal Intubation (ETT)-in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of LMA and ETT on intraoperative mechanical power, an emerging indicator of ventilator-induced lung stress. Secondary objectives include assessing postoperative respiratory complications such as cough, hypoxemia, laryngospa...
