A comparison of the I-gel supraglottic airway as a conduit for tracheal intubation with the intubating laryngeal mask airway: A manikin study.

Mild-to-moderate subglottic and tracheal stenosis can be effectively treated endoscopically, but safe airway management is a key concern. Options have included tracheotomy, jet ventilation, and intermittent apnea technique, each of which has limitations. This article presents the authors’ endoscopic surgical technique using laryngeal mask anesthesia during CO2 laser treatment of subglottic and ...

Background: Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is a useful advent in the airway management, filling a niche between the face mask and the tracheal tube in terms of both the anatomical position and the degree of invasiveness. Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic agent which depresses both laryngeal and pharyngeal reflexes and provides profound relaxation of pharyngeal muscles. Incidences of gagging co...

Supraglottic airways are an established part of routine and emergency pediatric airway management, including use in difficult airways and neonatal resuscitation. With the introduction of newer supraglottic airways in children, efficacy can only be determined by comparing these devices with those that are already well established (laryngeal mask airway Classic and laryngeal mask airway ProSeal)....

HYPOTHESIS The use of laryngeal mask airway and propofol in inguinal hernia repair results in shorter operative and recovery room times. DESIGN Randomized control trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS From May 2000 to March 2002, a convenience sample of 79 patients was invited to participate; 34 entered the study. Fifteen patients were randomized to subarachnoid block, and 18 patie...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of laryngeal mask airway, endotracheal tube and oropharyngeal airway for airway management in prehospital emergency care. METHODS The study sample of this randomized clinical trial was 54 patients needing pre-hospital airway management. All cases of intubation (ETI); after two failed attempts (37 patients), were randomly assigned to the oropharyngeal airw...

IMPLICATIONS Two patients experienced partial upper airway obstruction while breathing spontaneously with the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway. This resulted in esophageal aspiration of air through the drain tube.

Cursul Na]ional de Ghiduri [i Protocoale în ATI As anesthesiologists we spend a respectable part of our career maintaining the airway. Theoretically, every anesthesiologist should be familiar with, and well practiced in a variety of the airway techniques that are available, so that when an airway problem occurs, it can be managed with a solid armamentarium of information and experience. However...
