laryngismus/nicotine

Adult patients who smoke are known to have airway complications during general anesthesia. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in the home and laryngospasm during general anesthesia in pediatric patients. A retrospective,

The purpose of this study was to test the null hypothesis that children with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure (also known as passive smoke exposure) do not demonstrate an increased likelihood of adverse respiratory events during or while recovering from general anesthesia administered for

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the retrograde movement of gastric contents (acid and enzymes such as pepsin) into the laryngopharynx leading to symptoms referable to the larynx/hypopharynx. Typical LPR symptoms include dysphonia, globus pharyngeus, mild dysphagia, chronic cough, and nonproductive

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the frequency of respiratory adverse events during general anesthesia in children passively exposed to cigarette smoke (PSE). METHODS Prospective, double blinded, observational study. METHODS Operating room and recovery room of a university hospital. METHODS Data were collected
