en عمومى General پژوهشي Research To evaluate the frequency of cough after major ear surgical interventions undergoing general laryngeal mask airway anesthesia. Our prospective investigation included 162 subjects,aged 20-50 years,of both sexes,classed I-II according to the American society of anesthesiologists and scheduled for major ear surgical techniques at King Hussein hospital,King Hussein medical city,Amman,Jordan,during the period Jan 2011-Jan 2013.Anesthesia in all subjects was induced and maintained using general intravenous laryngeal mask airway anesthesia.Incidence of postoperative cough was assessed and analyzed using Student,s t test.P value was considered statistically significant if it was <0.05.Overall postoperative cough incidence was 4.9% of all study group patients,most commonly in those aged 20-30 years(62.5% of subjects with cough). Insertion of laryngeal mask airway in patients assigned for major ear operations is associated with significant reduction in immediate postoperative cough.
