Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Complication in Children

Desflurane is known to be the most pungent of the currently used volatile anesthetics. The investigators tried to find out if desflurane increases the incidence of perioperative upper airway complications in infants and children undergoing general anesthesia using supraglottic airways compared to sevoflurane.
