Risk of aspiration with the laryngeal mask.
In order to assess if the use of the laryngeal mask airway is associated with an increased risk of gastric regurgitation during mechanical ventilation, we studied 50 patients allocated randomly to undergo anaesthesia with either artificial ventilation with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen and atracurium (group A) or spontaneous ventilation with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen (grou...
متن کاملEmergency airway management with laryngeal mask airway.
When used correctly, laryngeal mask airway is a life saver. We report two cases wherein it was used for rescue airway management and as a ventilatory device during anesthesia. It is concluded that an anesthetist should be familiar with the use of this device.
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...
