Abstract:
A prospective randomized, controlled trial was conducted comparing supraglottic airways (SGA) for flexible bronchoscopy in 100 children. Background: Pediatric flexible bronchoscopy is commonly performed using a SGA as both a ventilation device and a conduit for flexible bronchoscopy. We observed that some disposable SGAs were associated with increased resistance to bronchoscope manipulation compared to the LMA Classic (cLMA).
