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 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 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...
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...
متن کاملComparison of the Supreme™ and ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airways in infants: a prospective randomised clinical study
BACKGROUND The Supreme™ and ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) are widely used in paediatric anaesthesia; however, LMA use in infants is limited because many anaesthesiologists prefer to use tracheal intubation in infants. In this study, we compared the Supreme and ProSeal LMAs in infants by measuring their performance characteristics, including insertion features, ventilation parameters, i...
