Incidence of the Perioperative Airway Complications in Children with Symptoms of Mild Upper Resiratory Infection

Abstract
|
|
|
A prospective study of 99 pediatric patients were performed to investigate the incidence of perioperative airway complications presenting for various surgery with mild upper respiratory infections(URI's). Anesthesia administered via either face
mask or
endotracheal intubation. The severity of respiratory complications were scored. Endotracheal intubation in itself increased complication score compared to inhalation anesthesia with face mask. There were significant differences in the
complication
scores between control children and children fulfilling predetermined URI criteria. Complications showing significant differences were cough, airway obstruction, secretion, However, mean scores were too low to draw conclusion that children with
URI's
should be postponed elective surgery. (Korean J Anesthesiol 1995; 29: 385~391)
