The Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy
Adenotonsillectomy is a unique challenging procedure for the anaesthesiologist as the airway is shared between the anaesthesia provider and the surgeon. Endotracheal intubation is the standard means to secure the airway in adenotonsillectomy [1]. In recent years, the flexible laryngeal mask airway (FLMA) has been used with increased frequency as an alternative [2]. This device has a a longer, n...
متن کاملFlexible laryngeal mask airway for head and neck oncoplastic surgery?
EDITOR: We read with interest Drs Martin-Castro and Montero’s report on the use of the flexible laryngeal mask (FLMA) as an alternative to reinforced tracheal tube for upper chest, head and neck oncoplastic surgery [1]. We seek some clarifications from them with regard to the operations concerned. How many of the patients whose airways were managed with the FLMA had oro-pharyngeal malignancies?...
متن کاملImproving patient safety after rigid bronchoscopy in adults: laryngeal mask airway versus face mask – a pilot study
BACKGROUND There are still no clear guidelines in the literature on per procedural bronchoscopic management for anesthesiologists, and few relevant datasets are available. To obtain rapid recovery from anesthesia, it is often necessary to keep patients in the recovery room for several hours until they become clinically stable. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the laryngeal mask airw...
متن کاملThe laryngeal mask.
Obstruction of the upper airway is the commonest complication of general anaesthesia and is potentially life threatening. The first skill that all anaesthetists must therefore acquire is how to keep the airway patent. A further complication of anaesthesia is the loss of upper airway reflexes, which may result in the accidental aspiration of gastric contents into the tracheobronchial tree with t...
متن کاملComparison of the Laryngeal Mask Airways: Laryngeal Mask Airway-classic and Laryngeal Mask Airway-proseal in Children
Introduction In the past 25 years with the development of various supraglottic airway devices, the armamentarium for airway management has increased. In our study, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-ProSeal is compared with the LMA-Classic with respect to as follows: (a) Ease of insertion and number of insertion attempts, (b) Device positional stability and possible oropharyngeal leak, (c) Airway ...
