The Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy
Adenotonsillectomy is a unique challenging procedure for the anaesthesiologist as the airway is shared between the anaesthesia provider and the surgeon. Endotracheal intubation is the standard means to secure the airway in adenotonsillectomy [1]. In recent years, the flexible laryngeal mask airway (FLMA) has been used with increased frequency as an alternative [2]. This device has a a longer, n...
متن کاملFlexible laryngeal mask airway for head and neck oncoplastic surgery?
EDITOR: We read with interest Drs Martin-Castro and Montero’s report on the use of the flexible laryngeal mask (FLMA) as an alternative to reinforced tracheal tube for upper chest, head and neck oncoplastic surgery [1]. We seek some clarifications from them with regard to the operations concerned. How many of the patients whose airways were managed with the FLMA had oro-pharyngeal malignancies?...
متن کاملThe 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...
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 کاملComparison of the standard laryngeal mask airway and the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in obese patients.
BACKGROUND The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) may have advantages over the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in obese patients. We tested this hypothesis in a clinical setting. METHODS Sixty obese patients (BMI >30) were randomized to receive mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 7 ml kg(-1), PEEP 10 cm H(2)O), through either the PLMA or the LMA. A gastric tube was used in all patients. Cuff p...
