Critically injured patients, inaccessible airways, and laryngeal mask airways.
Managing the airway of a critically injured trauma patient in the prehospital environment is challenging, especially when access to the patient's airway is limited as is often the case in vehicle entrapment incidents. This paper reports the use of the laryngeal mask airway as an adjunct to airway management when attempts using simple airway management techniques have failed to provide adequate ...
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 کاملTracheal tube and laryngeal mask cuff pressure during anaesthesia - mandatory monitoring is in need
BACKGROUND To prevent endothelium and nerve lesions, tracheal tube and laryngeal mask cuff pressure is to be maintained at a low level and yet be high enough to secure air sealing. METHOD In a prospective quality-control study, 201 patients undergoing surgery during anaesthesia (without the use of nitrous oxide) were included for determination of the cuff pressure of the tracheal tubes and la...
متن کاملIsoflurane waste gas exposure during general anaesthesia: the laryngeal mask compared with tracheal intubation.
We have compared exposure to isoflurane while using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during anaesthesia under positive pressure ventilation with exposure while using tracheal intubation. Trace concentrations of isoflurane were measured directly using a highly sensitive photoacoustic infrared spectrometer (Bruel and Kjaer 1302, Denmark) during general anaesthesia in 20 eye surgery procedures. Mea...
متن کاملpostoperative respiratory complications of laryngeal mask airway and tracheal tube in ear, nose and throat operations
results sore throat was recorded in 32.9% of patients with lma and 44.2% of intubated patients, but it was not statistically significant (fisher’s exact test = 0.158). hoarseness was recorded in 3.5% of patients with lma and 24.4% of intubated patients (fisher’s exact test = 0.000). in 1.2% of patients with lma cough was recorded; it was also seen in 7% of the intubated patients (fisher’s exact...
