Laryngeal mask anesthesia in children: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The laryngeal mask airway has become one of the major tools of modern anesthesia airway management. Despite the fact that no time limit has been recommended regarding its safe use in spontaneously breathing children, or adults, there is still reluctance to use the laryngeal mask airway in operations of long duration. We report the case of an uneventful 5-hour long laryngeal mask anesthesia in a spontaneously breathing 11-year-old boy undergoing lower limb surgery.

During the procedure, the surgeon realized that the mass was actually the...
متن کاملCase 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...
