About

In surgery under general anesthesia due to nasal bone fracture, laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation has been used. However, it has not been investigated that the difference of recovery profiles according to use of laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation in nasal bone fracture surgery. The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway regarding recovery profiles and airway complications, compared to tracheal intubation.
