Comparison of the ProsealTM Laryngeal Mask with or without a 90 Degree Bent by an Intubating Stylet for Airway Management during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Simulation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: the laryngeal mask airway.

The intubating laryngeal mask airway.

T he laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is accepted as both a rescue ventilation and a primary airway management device in both the prehospital and emergency department environments. A modified version of the LMA, the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA, LMA-Fastrach; Intavent Ltd, Reading, UK) exists, which, when combined with a modified tracheal tube, can be used for blind tracheal intubation. Th...

Use of Shikani Flexible Seeing Stylet for intubation via the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway.

detailed evaluation; however it presents clear advantages for monitoring SjO2 during CEA. Further refinements may improve this technique, including use of a guide wire for introducing the catheter into the internal jugular vein. In addition, this method should be compared with the conventional technique of monitoring SjO2 during CEA in terms of 1) accuracy and continuity of measurements, 2) tim...

Positive pressure ventilation during fibreoptic intubation: comparison of the laryngeal mask airway, intubating laryngeal mask and endoscopy mask techniques.

BACKGROUND The efficacy of delivery of mechanical ventilation through different airway devices during fibreoptic intubation is not known. METHODS We compared the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), intubating laryngeal mask (ILM) and endoscopy mask for positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during fibreoptic intubation. In 80 adult paralysed patients, fibreoptic intubation was performed during PPV usin...

The intubating laryngeal mask airway: an initial assessment of performance.

A new prototype of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA), was used to facilitate tracheal intubation in 100 fasted patients presenting for elective surgery. Alignment of the ILMA with the larynx was assessed fibreoptically before intubation without the investigator performing the intubation being aware of the view score. Ease of intubation correlated with ...
