Laryngeal mask for difficult intubation in children.
We present a new intubation technique using an oral preformed tracheal tube passed through a laryngeal mask. Six patients (neonate to six months old) with craniofacial malformations of head and neck and scheduled for reconstructive plastic surgery are the basis of this report. An inhalation induction with increasing doses of halothane in oxygen while maintaining spontaneous ventilation was perf...
متن کاملAwake tracheal intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask.
PURPOSE To report successful awake insertion of the intubating laryngeal mask (Fastrach) and subsequent tracheal intubation through it, in a patient with predicted difficult tracheal intubation, due to limited mouth opening, and difficult ventilation through a facemask, due to a large mass at the corner of the mouth. CLINICAL FEATURES A 53-yr-old woman with a large post-gangrenous mass on the...
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...
متن کاملHaemodynamic response to tracheal intubation via intubating laryngeal mask airway versus direct laryngoscopic tracheal intubation.
OBJECTIVE To compare the haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation using either direct larygoscopy or Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway. METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. One hundred adult ASA-I and ASA-II patients coming to the Anaesthesia Department of Aga Khan University Hospital were randomly divided into two groups. In group-I endotracheal intubation was done ...
متن کاملCricoid pressure impedes placement of the laryngeal mask airway and subsequent tracheal intubation through the mask.
We have studied 40 patients to see if cricoid pressure affects the success rate of ventilation through, and the position of, the laryngeal mask and subsequent fiberscope-aided tracheal intubation. Adequate ventilation of the lungs was produced through the laryngeal mask in 19 of 20 patients in the control group, but in only 10 of 20 patients in the cricoid pressure group (P < 0.002). The laryng...
