Article Synopsis
- This study compares the use of supraglottic airway devices (SAD) and endotracheal tubes (ETT) for general anesthesia in former preterm infants undergoing herniorrhaphy.
- The research found that infants using SAD experienced significantly fewer cases of intraoperative desaturation compared to those using ETT (21.1% vs. 73.7%).
- Overall, while SAD showed better outcomes for intraoperative desaturation, the rates of other respiratory complications were similar between both groups, and all infants were successfully extubated after surgery.
