Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP)
It was determined by the method describe by Lopez-Gil and colleagues. Briefly, it was measured by closing the expiratory valve of the circle system at a fixed gas flow of 3l/min, recording the airway pressure at which audible leak sound was heard.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Intubation time
from the time of mouth opening until the time at square-wave capnography was detected
Ease of intubation/mask bagging
After successful LMA insertion, investigator recorded subjective difficulty during whole period of LMA manipulation by Likert scale: 1, easy 2, moderate, and 3: difficult.
Fiberoptic view of LMA
The fibreoptic view was assessed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy through the LMA and graded.
Mean blood pressure
mean blood pressure (mmHg) is recorded before and after the insertion of LMA.
Heart rate
Heart rate is (beat per minutes) recorded before and after the insertion of LMA.
Watcha scale every 10 min from time to PACU admission to discharge
On arrival and every 10 min after PACU admission, patients were checked Watcha scale as following 4-point scale
calm
crying, but can be consoled
Crying, cannot be consoled
Agitated and thrashing around
FLACC score on initial, 10, 20, and 30 min
Face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability (FLACC) score is checked every 10min after PACU admission
Eye opening time
defined as the interval from the cessation of anesthetics to eye opening
Extubation time
time from discontinuation of anesthetics to extubation
Peak inspiratory pressure before and after the surgery
check the peak inspiratory pressure (cmH2O) before and at the end of surgery
Tidal volume ratio before and after the surgery
check the expiratory tidal volume/setting tidal volume ratio before and at the end of surgery
Respiratory adverse events
check the adverse events during emergence and PACU stay such as coughing, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, postoperative stridor and mild desaturation; SpO2 <95%.
Postoperative complications
check the adverse events including respiratory adverse events, gastric insufflation, excessive secretion, postoperative nausea and vomiting, sore throat, and tinged blood on LMA surface.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is increasing in pediatric anesthesia because it provides lesser direct mechanical stimulation of the airway due to being placed above the larynx. However, LMA insertion can be more difficult in children than in adults due to their unique characteristics of pediatric airway. Neuromuscular blocking agents, so-called, muscle relaxants have long been used to facilitate insertion of airway devices. But there are pros and cons for the efficacy of muscle relaxants in LMA insertion, and most studies were investigated in adults.

Intervention Name(s)
rocuronium
Other Intervention Name(s)
Rocuronium bromide
Intervention Description
After standard anesthetic monitoring (non-invasive blood pressure monitor, pulse oximetry, 3-lead echocardiography), patients are inhaled with sevoflurane. When the patients asleep, 0.3 mg/kg rocuronium is administered. After 2 min, flexible laryngeal mask airway (fLMA) is inserted using standard method. The fLMA is inflated with air to 40 cmH2O using manometry. The oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) was determined by the method described by Lopez-Gil and colleagues.
