The 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 کاملDifficult 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 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 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 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 ...
