Frequency Of Post-Operative Laryngospasm In Pediatric During Ent Surgical Procedures Under General Anesthesia In Khyber Teaching Hospital (Kth) Peshawar

Abstract

The glottic musculature parylsis causes the upper airway to reflexively close, which causes laryngospasm. It occasionally serves as a protective reaction to stop foreign objects like blood, food, or vomit from entering the trachea. However, the reflex occasionally causes a complete glottic closure, which makes breathing difficult. Every effort should be taken to quickly relieve the patient's airway obstruction brought on by the laryngospasm in order to prevent morbidity and mortality from the immediate (hypoxia and hypercapnia) and delayed ("negative-pressure pulmonary edoema") effects of the condition. Identify the prevalence of post-operative laryngospasm in pediatric during  ENT surgical procedures performed under general anaesthesia at Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) Peshawar, and determine which of the following approaches should be applied for therapy. By using all the related phrases to this topic, a retrospective search investigation was undertaken from various published articles found on Google Scholar and PubMed. In order to determine the prevalence of postoperative laryngospasm following ENT surgical operations, we read and searched roughly 32 articles that were relevant to my issue. About 32 different research publications that were pertinent to the study and issue were analysed and looked for. Both a direct conversation with each patient and a questionnaire are used to gather data from the 126 individuals. Out of 126 individuals, the findings from our data collection indicate that males are more likely than females to experience laryngospasm due to the higher risk of smoking in men, among other factors. On the basis of the aforementioned findings, it is hypothesised that the removal of the tracheal tube while the patient is still recovering from the anaesthetic contributes to the occurrence of postoperative laryngospasm in pediatric  during ENT surgical procedures.
