Critically injured patients, inaccessible airways, and laryngeal mask airways.
Managing the airway of a critically injured trauma patient in the prehospital environment is challenging, especially when access to the patient's airway is limited as is often the case in vehicle entrapment incidents. This paper reports the use of the laryngeal mask airway as an adjunct to airway management when attempts using simple airway management techniques have failed to provide adequate ...
متن کاملPositive 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...
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 ...
متن کاملThe intubating laryngeal mask airway in failed fibreoptic intubation.
PURPOSE Prediction of difficult tracheal intubation is not always reliable and management with fibreoptic intubation is not always successful. We describe two cases in which blind intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA FasTrach) succeeded after fibreoptic intubation failed. CLINICAL FEATURES The first patient, a 50 yr old man, was scheduled for elective craniotomy for i...
متن کاملThe Laryngeal Mask Airway – First Class on Difficult Airways
Airway management is one of the most essential skills in the practice of anesthesiology and inability to secure the airway is one of the most common reasons for major anesthesia-related complications. By far the most important recent contribution to airway management has been the introduction of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) into clinical practice. The LMA was conceived and designed by Dr. Ar...
