Effects on the Awakening With Laryngeal Mask vs Endotracheal Tube in Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Base Surgery

Spain45 participantsStarted 2017-01-20

Plain-language summary

The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS) is widely used. Although the incidence of complications is low, hypertensive episodes during surgery and awakening and cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) leakage have been described. The occurrence of coughing or vomiting during the early postoperative period must be avoid to protect the patient from CSF leakage and arterial hypertension. The emergency of anesthesia with laryngeal mask has a better haemodynamic profile and less incidence of cough in some surgical procedures and it could help minimizing the risks after EETS
