Airway management: A comparative study in cleft lip and palate repair surgery in children.

BACKGROUND

Cleft lip with or without palate is one of the common congenital malformations.

AIM: To evaluate the per-operative complications of anesthesia, a comparative study was conducted in children using the endotracheal tubes available in the Institute so that the complications can be averted in future procedures.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

The rural population of Tripura, India.

RESULT: Awareness was generated and the incidence of repair surgeries of cleft lip and palate was thus increased considerably in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Memorial Teaching Hospital, Agartala, Tripura.

CONCLUSION

The RAE tube has been found to be the choicest one and at a minimal risk for maintaining patients' patent airway and other related complications.
