Use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in a pregnant patient with a difficult airway during electroconvulsive therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a patient at 20-22 weeks gestation, with a known difficult airway, who underwent eight sessions of electroconvulsive therapy using the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and controlled ventilation. The airway management options for brief periods of general anaesthesia in patients with increased gastric volume are discussed.

Case Report of an open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use
Introduction: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a safe method to establish airway control during general anaesthesia. In otolaryngology surgery, the use of a LMA is well established in ear surgery; however, the use of a LMA during open neck procedures remains controversial. We report a case in which the pharyngeal distortion by the LMA cuff resulted in an iatrogenic complication. Case Report...
متن کاملLimitation of Laryngeal Mask Airway Usage in Open-Neck Procedure
I read the manuscript entitled “Case Report of An Open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use” by Subramaniam T et al. This is a valuable manuscript describing iatrogenic complications during level-2 cervical lymph node biopsy, in which the airway is managed with laryngeal mask airway (LMA). During the procedure, the surgeon realized that the mass was actually the...
متن کاملRandomized crossover comparison of the proseal with the classic laryngeal mask airway in unparalysed anaesthetized patients.
BACKGROUND The ProSeal is a wire-reinforced laryngeal mask airway with an additional drain tube that leads to the distal tip of the laryngeal cuff. The design should improve the seal with the larynx. METHODS The ProSeal and classic laryngeal mask airways were compared in 180 patients in a randomized crossover study. Patients were anaesthetized without neuromuscular blocking drugs. RESULTS T...
متن کاملHemodynamic responses to insertion of the laryngeal mask airway versus Combitube
Introduction: One of the most common problems during laryngoscopy involves sympathetic system stimulation and the subsequent hemodynamic changes. It is a key measure to maintain the hemodynamic stability of patients with cardiovascular diseases during induction of anesthesia. This study attempted to compare the hemodynamic effects of laryngeal mask airway and combitube. Methods: This prospec...

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of thiopental sodium-midazolam combination on the stress response and hemodynamic changes between tracheal intubation and laryngeal mask airway insertion during airway management. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 70 patients ASA 1, 2 candidates for elective surgery were randomly divided into two groups o...
