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...

results participants in all groups were similar in terms of gender, age, weight, height, and mallampati class. the mean ± sd of sbps (105.62 ± 12.12, 112.90 ± 12.2, and 112.48 ± 15.14 mm hg, respectively for ett, lma-c, and lma-s) and dbps (64.64 ± 10.23, 73.78 ± 9.70, and 71.20 ± 12.27 mm hg, respectively for ett, lma-c, and lma-s) were significantly lower in the ett group compared to lma grou...

We analyze with the Bayesian method the solar and KamLAND neutrino data in terms of neutrino oscillations. We show that Bayesian credible regions with a flat prior in the tan2 θ12–∆m 2 21 plane strongly support the LMA solution, in agreement with the usual chi-square analysis. Other reasonable priors are considered in order to test the stability of the LMA solution. We show that priors which fa...

OBJECTIVE This study compared the safety and efficacy of the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway (S-LMA) with that of the ProSeal-LMA (P-LMA) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty adults were randomly allocated. Following anaesthesia induction, experienced LMA users inserted the airway devices. RESULTS Oropharyngeal leak pressure was similar in groups (S-LMA, 27.8±2.9 cmH2O;...

results sore throat was recorded in 32.9% of patients with lma and 44.2% of intubated patients, but it was not statistically significant (fisher’s exact test = 0.158). hoarseness was recorded in 3.5% of patients with lma and 24.4% of intubated patients (fisher’s exact test = 0.000). in 1.2% of patients with lma cough was recorded; it was also seen in 7% of the intubated patients (fisher’s exact...

70 the Editor:-A patient was anesthetized for an orthopedic procedure and a no. 4 laryngeal mask aiway (LMA) was inserted. An air leak around the LMA was observed at approximately 12 cm H,O pressure, causing ventilation to be inadequate. I attempted to alleviate the air leak by repositioning the LMA, changing the cuff inflation volume, and repositioning the patient's head, with no success. Acco...

BACKGROUND The LMA CTrach system (The Laryngeal Mask Company, Singapore) is a development of the LMA Fastrach system (The Laryngeal Mask Company, Singapore), with integrated fiberoptic bundles and a detachable liquid crystal display viewer. This randomized study of 271 patients compared tracheal intubation with these two systems. METHODS In both groups, ventilation was optimized after inserti...
