Nasopharyngeal Airway Versus Laryngeal Mask Airway During Diagnostic Flexible Fiber-Optic Bronchoscope in Children

Table 2: Perioperative means (SD) of peripheral oxygen saturation.

Variables Measured	Groups
	LMA (N=45)	NPA (N=45)	T-test
	LMA (N=45)	NPA (N=45)	t	P-Value
Baseline Spo₂%	96.94 ± 2.57	97.18 ± 2.64	0.437	0.663
Lowest Spo₂%	86.38 ± 3.53	91.72 ± 3.98	6.734	<0.001**
Change in Spo₂%	11.11%	4.44%
Desaturation Patients n (%)	19(42.22%)	7(15.56%)	7.788	0.005*

Spo2, peripheral oxygen saturation, *P < 0.05 is considered significant, * P < 0.001 is considered highly significant.
