Özet

Introduction: In many of the world's developed regions, the geriatric population forms a rapidly increasing portion of the total population. Therefore the vast majority of daily operating schedule constitutes the elderly patients. Pharyngolaryngeal complications are indicators of quality geriatric patient care. This study compared postoperative pharyngolaryngeal morbidity in geriatric patients managed with manometers to limit the laryngeal mask intracuff pressure (60 cmH(2)O) with geriatric patients under routine care.
