Case Report of an open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use
Introduction: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a safe method to establish airway control during general anaesthesia. In otolaryngology surgery, the use of a LMA is well established in ear surgery; however, the use of a LMA during open neck procedures remains controversial. We report a case in which the pharyngeal distortion by the LMA cuff resulted in an iatrogenic complication. Case Report...

متن کاملClinical assessment of the single use laryngeal mask airway--the LMA-unique.
We conducted a clinical comparison of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the new single use PVC LMA (LMA-Unique) in 100 fasted adult patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients were allocated to one of two groups: group 1 (n = 50) was managed by two consultants and group 2 by two trainee anaesthetists. Airway management was randomized prospectively within each group, and cuff pressure in bo...
متن کاملUse of the laryngeal mask airway in the prone position.
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a supraglottic medical device used to maintain a patent airway during surgery or a medical emergency. Its initial use was as a means of providing general anesthesia without an endotracheal tube (ETT) while avoiding the need to hold an anesthesia mask in place. As clinical experience has developed with the device, the LMA has been used for a wider range of surg...
متن کاملThe laryngeal mask airway Supreme--a single use laryngeal mask airway with an oesophageal vent. A randomised, cross-over study with the laryngeal mask airway ProSeal in paralysed, anaesthetised patients.
The LMA Supreme is a new extraglottic airway device which brings together features of the LMA ProSeal, Fastrach and Unique. We test the hypothesis that ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fibreoptic position and ease of gastric tube placement differ between the LMA ProSeal and the LMA Supreme in paralysed anesthetised patients. Ninety-three females aged 19-71 years were studied. Bot...
