Airway management and the drugs and anesthesia induction techniques chosen must be agents that have minimal side effects on the respiratory tract and maintain respiratory muscle tone. }, issn = {2089-970X}, doi = {10.14710/jai.v0i0.63062}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/janesti/article/view/63062} }
