چکیده
THE LMA CTrachTM system (The Laryngeal Mask Company, Singapore) was developed from the LMA FastrachTM system (The Laryngeal Mask Company) and consists of an LMA CTrachTM airway with fiberoptic channels and a detachable liquid crystal display viewer cum light source. The LMA CTrachTM enables ventilation, glottis visualization, and tracheal intubation via a laryngeal mask conduit. In this report, we describe our experience with the LMA CTrachTM in 48 patients with difficult airways.
