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 کاملUsing the laryngeal mask airway to manage the difficult airway.
Before 1990, the choice of an airway device essentially was limited to the facemask or the endotracheal tube. Since then, a number of novel supraglottic airway devices have been developed. The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was introduced to the United States in 1991 after 3 years of use in the United Kingdom and other countries. Today the LMA has a clearly established role as an airway device in ...
متن کاملThe laryngeal mask airway: its role in the difficult airway.
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a relatively new device that was brought into clinical practice in the 1980s. It was conceived, designed, and developed between 1981 and 1988 by Dr. Archie Brain, a British anesthesiologist who felt that a component for airway management was missing. The laryngeal mask was conceived to provide the bridge between the face mask and the endotracheal tube. The con...
متن کاملLaryngeal mask airway: an alternative for the difficult airway.
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was invented by Dr. Archie Brain at the London Hospital, Whitechapel, in 1981. Dr. Brain's main objective for the LMA was that it would provide a better method of maintaining a patient's airway than by face mask. Also, the LMA would be less hemodynamically stressful than with insertion of an endotracheal tube. The LMA consists of a silicone rubber tube connected ...
متن کاملCase of difficult intubation overcome by the laryngeal mask airway.
A case of difficult intubation is described in which the problem was overcome by use of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The patient had difficulty in mouth opening due to severe burn scar contracture around the mouth and limited access prevented tracheal intubation. The use of LMA is shown to have obviated the need for tracheal intubation in the case of a patient whose injuries would have made...
