THE 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

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 1992
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

Fibreoptic views through the laryngeal mask and the intubating laryngeal mask

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2001
The intubating laryngeal mask (intubating laryngeal mask airway) was designed to facilitate blind intubation. Its value as an adjunct to fibreoptic laryngoscopy has not been evaluated. This study compares the intubating laryngeal mask airway with the standard laryngeal mask airway as conduits for fibreoptic laryngoscopy.The fibreoptic view of the ...

The laryngeal mask in resuscitation

Resuscitation, 1994
The laryngeal mask was invented in 1983 by an ingenious anaesthetist working in London called Archie Brain [1,2]. Setting out to tame the bete noir of the anaesthetists basic skill the management of the upper airway he undertook years of painstaking research and experimentation in the anaesthetic and post mortem rooms to devise a breathing tube with an

Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury with the laryngeal mask

ains · Anästhesiologie · Intensivmedizin · Notfallmedizin · Schmerztherapie, 1999
We report a case of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury after anesthesia with the LMA and review the published cases of major pharyngolaryngeal morbidity. Prevention of this and other pharyngolaryngeal injuries probably depends on the skilled application of the correct insertion technique and the use of low intracuff pressures and volumes.

The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2002
The 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 ...
