Limitation of Laryngeal Mask Airway Usage in Open-Neck Procedure

I read the manuscript entitled “Case Report of An Open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use” by Subramaniam T et al. This is a valuable manuscript describing iatrogenic complications during level-2 cervical lymph node biopsy, in which the airway is managed with laryngeal mask airway (LMA). During the procedure, the surgeon realized that the mass was actually the...

Comparison 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 ...

Reflux during positive pressure ventilation via the laryngeal mask airway?

Sir,—We read with interest the pilot study by Valentine, Stakes and Bellamy [1] comparing lower oesophageal pH changes in patients managed with either the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or tracheal tube during intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). However, we suggest that the following factors in their study design may have had an influence on their results. (1) The authors probably u...

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...
