The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a new concept in airway management. A miniature inflatable mask is positioned in the hypopharynx, forming a low-pressure seal around the laryngeal inlet. The mask is attached via a tube to the breathing circuit. It is inserted after induction of anesthesia without the need for muscle relaxants or laryngoscopy. The LMA

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA), developed in 1983, is a new device to assist in the management of the pediatric and adult airway. In 1991, the Food and Drug Administration gave its approval for use of the LMA in the United States. The LMA is reusable and appears to provide cost-effective airway management in numerous situations.

The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway
Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2002The ProSeal LMA is a major advance over the Classic LMA because of the following reasons: it allows ventilation at much higher airway pressures; it protects the lungs from aspiration and the stomach from gastric insufflation; it facilitates passage of a gastric tube and monitoring devices into the esophagus; it can be inserted like the Classic or ...

Emergency airway management with laryngeal mask airway
Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2011When used correctly, laryngeal mask airway is a life saver. We report two cases wherein it was used for rescue airway management and as a ventilatory device during anesthesia. It is concluded that an anesthetist should be familiar with the use of this device.

Laryngeal mask airway and the difficult airway
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004To present recent advances in the role of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its newer modifications in the management of difficult airway.The principles of management of a difficult airway remain the same, but the advent of the intubating LMA (ILMA) and Proseal LMA (PLMA) has provided a better choice in such situations.

Laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) are a common airway device often used for short surgeries. It is also an essential part of the American Society of Anesthesiology’s Difficult Airway Algorithm. In a patient who cannot be mask ventilated and cannot be intubated, the next step is placement of a laryngeal mask airway.

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 1995
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) tills a niche between the face mask and tracheal tube in terms of both anatomic position and degree of invasiveness. The LMA is a supraglottic device, and its placement is theoretically unaffected by upper airway and facial anatomy. Once inserted into the hypopharynx, there is direct access to the glottis without loss of

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was first used in anaesthetic practice in the 1980s. It is now increasingly promoted as a first-line airway device during resuscitation, if a practitioner skilled in tracheal intubation is not available (Resuscitation Council (UK), 2002).
