Anesthetic Gas Leakage in Children During Tonsillectomy: a Comparison of Cuffed and Uncuffed Tracheal Tubes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating oxygen concentration, nitrous oxide concentration, and 2 other interventions for Exposure to Environmental Pollution and Adverse Effect of Unspecified General Anesthetic. Completed, enrolled 31 participants.
Detailed Summary
Fires and operating room pollution may occur when anesthesia gases leak into the oropharynx during airway surgery. Investigators sought to measure the concentrations of anesthetic gases that leak into the mouth of children undergoing adenotonsillectomy using cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes during spontaneous and controlled ventilation.

Timeline
Interventions
oxygen concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation
nitrous oxide concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation
carbon dioxide concentration will be measured from the tracheal tube and in the oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation
sevoflurane concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation
