Brief summary

Overweight and obesity in children become a wide problem facing anesthetists' every day. Furthermore, cold is a viral origin infection that commonly occurs in children, there is always debate for years whether to proceed in anesthetizing with general anesthesia or not for children with recent cold because risk of increase incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events. this is a prospective randomly unblinded study in 64 obese children (BMI>95% of child age and sex) with recent cold aged 2- 8 years undergoing elective upper airways surgery to compare the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events in manipulation of airways either by LMA or ETT (primary outcome), early detection and optimizing the anesthetic management of complications may occur (secondary outcome).

Interventions

(Group I) : LMA group, 32 obese children with recent cold use LMA for intubation in upper airway surgeries. (Group II): ETT group, 32 obese children with recent cold use ETT for intubation in upper airway surgeries.
