Brief summary

The investigators aimed to investigate effects of intubation and laryngeal mask airway usage in pediatrics during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Detailed description

Considering blood gas analysis, end tidal carbon dioxide measurements and airway changes, the investigators aimed to investigate effects of intubation and laryngeal mask airway usage in pediatrics during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in this study.
