Preoperative Use of Montelukast Sodium

Supraglottic airway equipment used during anaesthesia application can lead to airway reactivity or even larynx spasm in sensitive children. Montelukast Sodium, used in asthma treatment, is a cysteinyl leukotriene Type 1 antagonist which reduces leukotriene C4, leukotriene D4 and leukotriene E4 synthesis. The use of Montelukast Sodium in airway reactivity is known to reduce the need for bronchodilator and corticosteroids.
