Anesthesia: Essays and Researches, 2018 In the past 25 years with the development of various supraglottic airway devices, the armamentarium for airway management has increased. In our study, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-ProSeal is compared with the LMA-Classic with respect to as follows: (a) Ease of insertion and number of insertion attempts, (b) Device positional stability and possible ...

The laryngeal mask airway in children [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1990 SummaryThe laryngeal mask airway was used in 200 children during a variety of surgical procedures. Some problem with the use of the device was encountered in 47 cases (23%), but in only five cases (2.5%) were the problems serious enough to warrant abandonment of its use. A clear airway was ultimately achieved in 191 children.

The laryngeal mask airway in infants [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1992 SummaryClinical and fibreoplic assessment of positioning of the size 1 laryngeal mask airway was performed in 50 infants. A clinically patent airway was obtained in 47 patients at the first attempt, but perfect positioning, as assessed by fibreoptic laryngoscopy, was found in only 22 instances.

The intubating laryngeal mask airway [PDF]
Emergency Medicine Journal, 2004 The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is accepted as both a rescue ventilation and a primary airway management device in both the prehospital and emergency department environments.1–3 A modified version of the LMA, the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA, LMA-Fastrach; Intavent Ltd, Reading, UK) exists, which, when combined with a modified tracheal tube ...

The laryngeal mask airway in obstetrical anaesthesia [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1995 The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been used extensively to provide a safe airway in spontaneously breathing patients who are not at risk from aspiration of gastric contents. The role of the LMA in the event of a failed intubation in an obstetrical patient, and its place in a failed intubation drill remains unclear.

Comparison of the standard laryngeal mask airway and the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in obese patients [PDF]
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2003 The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) may have advantages over the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in obese patients. We tested this hypothesis in a clinical setting.Sixty obese patients (BMI >30) were randomized to receive mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 7 ml kg(-1), PEEP 10 cm H(2)O), through either the PLMA or the LMA. A gastric tube was used in

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2003 The laryngeal mask airway (LMA), invented by Dr. Brain in 1981, is a new airway device filling the gap between tracheal intubation and the use of a facial mask. The LMA is reusable, simple to use, atraumatic to in-sert, and helpful in overcoming an obstructed airway.

Airway Protection with the ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 2001 The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway is a new laryngeal mask device that has a modified cuff and a drainage tube. We describe a case where the ProSeal laryngeal mask successfully channelled regurgitated fluid away from the respiratory tract.

Balkan Medical Journal, 2012 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.Sixty adults were randomly allocated. Following anaesthesia induction, experienced LMA users inserted the airway devices.Oropharyngeal leak pressure was similar in groups (S-LMA, 27.8±2.9 cmH2O; P-
