Laryngeal mask versus intubation on adverse reactions in pediatric retinoblastoma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children undergoing enucleation surgery for conditions such as retinoblastoma require general anesthesia with airway management techniques. Both laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal intubation (ETT) are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia, but their comparative efficacy and safety in this specific context remain unclear. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of LMA versus ETT in children undergoing enucleation surgery.

Methods

A retrospective review of consecutive patients in Peking University People's Hospital from 2007 to 2020 who underwent eye removal surgery was included in our study. Fifty-eight eligible patients were divided into Group A (ETT, n=35) and Group B (LMA, n=23) according to the type of anesthesia. The patien
