Difficult Laryngeal Mask Airway Placement.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA), which consists of a silicone tube connected to a miniature silicone mask appropriate for the shape of hypopharynx and covers the larynx as a gasket, was developed in 1980s in the United Kingdom. It is frequently used both to avoid negative effects of endotracheal intubation by establishing direct connection with the airway of patient and to easily provide a more rel...
متن کاملCricoid pressure impedes placement of the laryngeal mask airway and subsequent tracheal intubation through the mask.
We have studied 40 patients to see if cricoid pressure affects the success rate of ventilation through, and the position of, the laryngeal mask and subsequent fiberscope-aided tracheal intubation. Adequate ventilation of the lungs was produced through the laryngeal mask in 19 of 20 patients in the control group, but in only 10 of 20 patients in the cricoid pressure group (P < 0.002). The laryng...
متن کاملPlacement of the intubating laryngeal mask is easier than the laryngeal mask during manual in-line neck stabilization.
We have compared in 25 patients ease of placement of the conventional and intubating laryngeal masks while the patient's head and neck were stabilized by a manual in-line method, in a randomized, crossover study. After induction of anaesthesia and neuromuscular block, the masks were placed in turn. Adequacy of ventilation and ease of placement (using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS)) were as...
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 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...
