Brief Summary: The effect of airway management on vomiting after strabismus surgery is unknown The purpose of this study is to find out whether the use of different airway devices such as LMA which is a special mask placed in the throat or Endotracheal tube ET tube which is a soft tube placed in the wind pipe affects the incidence of vomiting after surgery Two hundred six children between the ages of 2 and 12 years are expected to take part in this study
Detailed Description: The child will be checked by the study doctor to determine if heshe qualifies to be part of the study The study doctor may not want the child to take part in this study if heshe is currently in another research study or if the child has been in any other research study within the last 30 days or if the child is extremely obese or has reflux or another GI problem

If the child qualifies for the study heshe will receive routine general anesthesia For airway management the child will have either a LMA or ET tube The child has an equal chance of receiving either one of these airways devices much like the coin flip

After surgery the child will be transferred to the recovery room PACU If the child vomits in PACU heshe will receive rescue medication which can be repeated if the need arises

A research coordinator will call the parents the following day to find out whether the child vomited after leaving the hospital in the car or at home for any complications and receiving any medications
