Laryngo-tracheal ultrasonography to confirm correct endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask airway placement

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2014
Waveform capnography was recommended as the most reliable method to confirm correct endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway placements. However, capnography may be unreliable during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and during low flow states.

Upper airway resistance during use of a laryngeal mask airway is flow-dependent and dominated by the laryngeal resistance

Scientific Reports
During use of a laryngeal mask airway, resistance of the device and larynx contribute to the upper airway resistance. Detailed understanding of this combined resistance is crucial to support spontaneously breathing patients appropriately or to take the ...

Partial airway obstruction following manufacturing defect in laryngeal mask airway (Laryngeal Mask SilkenTM)

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2014
Laryngeal mask (LM) airway is commonly used for securing airway in day-care surgeries. Various problems have been described while using LM airway. Out of those, mechanical obstruction causing airway compromise is most common.

Randomized crossover comparison between the i-gel and the LMA-Unique in anaesthetized, paralysed adults [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background</b>: The i-gel differs from other supraglottic airway devices, in that it has a softer, non-inflatable cuff. This study was designed to compare the performance of the i-gel and the LMA-Unique (LMA-U) when used during anaesthesia

Airway obstruction due to a laryngeal polyp following insertion of a laryngeal mask airway [PDF]

, 2021
Background: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion contributes to airway protection in patients with a laryngeal tumor around the glottis. There has been no report of LMA insertion itself exacerbating airway obstruction in such patients. Case presentation:

Effects of proseal laryngeal mask airway cuff inflation on carotid flow in pediatric population during sevoflurane induction [PDF]

Pediatric Anesthesia and Critical Care Journal (PACCJ), 2016
Introduction The laryngeal mask cuff inflation can exert a pressure and a displacement on the neck vessels and determine a potential change of the carotid flow. The study exami- ned the effects of cuff inflation of a ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway on the
