چکیده
Retropharyngeal or parapharyngeal abscesses developing after intubation are rare. This can present as surgical emergency post extubation. We report a case of retropharyngeal abscess that probably occurred as a complication of laryngeal mask insertion.

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 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...
متن کاملDangerous blind tracheal intubation attempt due to fiberscope non-availability in a pediatric patient with retropharyngeal abscess caused by a large fish bone.
In China, foods containing bones are sometimes fed to young infants. Occasionally, this practice results in bone aspiration and retropharyngeal abscess, a potentially life-threatening infection in the deep space of the neck that can compromise the airway. The main concern in managing patients with retropharyngeal abscess is airway management. In China, not all hospitals and operating rooms are ...
