The Effect of EGD Probe Insertion on the Intracuff Pressure of the Laryngeal Mask Airway or Cuffed Endotracheal Tube in Children

A prospective study designed to access changes in the intracuff pressure of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or cuffed endotracheal tube (cETT) during placement of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) probe during an EGD in the pediatric population.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients from 0-18 years old having EGD procedure with a LMA or cuffed ETT.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a history of tracheomalacia, bronchomalacia or any other airway issues.
