Evaluation of Laryngeal Mask Airway Use in Pediatric Bronchoscopy: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the effectiveness of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use during pediatric bronchoscopy.
• Conducted a 10-year retrospective analysis
• Evaluated outcomes of LMA versus mask ventilation
• Assessed oxygenation levels and complication rates
• LMA provided superior oxygenation compared to mask ventilation
• Fewer complications were noted with LMA use
• Despite longer procedure times, LMA demonstrated a better safety profile
