Abstract

40 patients, with the pathology of maxillofacial area were investigated during the operation. The operation lasted 60.5+/-6.8 min. Combined intravenous anesthesia with propophol, phentanil, atracrium besylate was used for all patients. The utilization of a laryngeal mask (LM) for respiratory support was used in the first group (20 patients). An tracheal intubation (TI) was made in the second group (20 patients). In total myoplegia, the installation of LM was simple. Undesirable laryngo-pharyngeal reflexes were not noticed. The reaction of cardiovascular system while installing. LM was absent unlike TI. As for the gas exchange no difference was noticed in both groups (p>0.05). After the operation the patients of the first group recovered quicker than the patients of the second group (p<0.05). It is the result of reducing the amount of relaxants in the first group (p<0.05). Hence, anesthesia with LM may be regarded as alternative method of anesthesiological provision for a maxillofacial operations of short duration.
