Summary

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the loss of motor response to supraorbital pressure can be an alternative to that of jaw thrust to predict optimal condition for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in children.

METHODOLOGY

Fifty children (ASA I-II), aged 2 to 10 years, scheduled to receive general anesthesia that required LMA insertion were randomized to receive either supraorbital pressure (SOP) (n = 25) or jaw thrust (JT) (n = 25), after the loss of verbal response and body movements with a standard anesthetic. When motor response to the study intervention was absent, the LMA was inserted.

Conditions

  • Laryngeal Masks

Interventions

OTHER

Supraorbital pressure

Supraorbital pressure is applied by applying pressure over the notch on the inner aspect of eyebrow.

OTHER

Jaw thrust maneuver

Jaw thrust is performed by placing the index and middle fingers to physically pull the posterior aspects of the mandible upwards while their thumbs push down on the chin to open the mouth.
