THE lARYNGEAL MASK AND INTRAOCULAR SURGERY

The laryngeal mask for intraocular surgery.

CORRESPONDENCE THE LARYNGEAL MASK FOR INTRAOCULAR SURGERY Sir,—Ripart, Cohendy and Eledjam [1], in commenting upon the article by Lamb, James and Janicki [2], described two untoward incidents associated with the use of the laryngcal mask airway (LMA) for controlled ventilation during intraocular surgery. As a result, they have abandoned the technique. They have done so without relating the inci...

Comparing the Effect of Laryngeal Mask Airway And Endotracheal Tube Insertion on Intraocular Pressure in Cataract Surgery

Background and purpose: The method of anesthesia affects intraocular pressure (IOP), especially general anesthesia which is sometimes administered with endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion. The aim of this research was to compare the effect of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and ETT on intraocular pressure in cataract surgery. Materials and methods: In a single blind randomized clinical trial, 61 pat...

Laryngeal mask airway in ENT surgery.

The reinforced laryngeal mask airway for dento-alveolar surgery.

We have evaluated the reinforced laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for use during dento-alveolar surgery in 100 ASA I and II day-case patients allocated randomly to receive either a nasotracheal tube or reinforced LMA. We recorded ease of airway insertion, airway complications, quality of recovery and replies to a 24-h postoperative questionnaire. In addition, a fibreoptic assessment was made of lary...
