Summary

Airway management in anesthesia is critical to guarantee appropriate treatment of possible respiratory complications and successful operative practice. LMA® is an alternative to tracheal tube in some surgeries like as mastectomy on breast cancer. Given no need using muscular relaxants in mastectomy, the investigators hypothesized that LMA® would be a superior manner in airway management in radical modified mastectomy on breast cancer than the tracheal tube, and the LMA® might produce less influence on patients' circulatory homeostasis, and easier to be placed before operation.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	LMA®	LMA® is placed after anesthesia induction and removed after the operation
DEVICE	Endotracheal tube	Standard endotracheal tube is inserted after anesthesia induction and extubated after the operation
