The Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy
Adenotonsillectomy is a unique challenging procedure for the anaesthesiologist as the airway is shared between the anaesthesia provider and the surgeon. Endotracheal intubation is the standard means to secure the airway in adenotonsillectomy [1]. In recent years, the flexible laryngeal mask airway (FLMA) has been used with increased frequency as an alternative [2]. This device has a a longer, n...
متن کاملThe reinforced laryngeal mask airway for dento-alveolar surgery.
We have evaluated the reinforced laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for use during dento-alveolar surgery in 100 ASA I and II day-case patients allocated randomly to receive either a nasotracheal tube or reinforced LMA. We recorded ease of airway insertion, airway complications, quality of recovery and replies to a 24-h postoperative questionnaire. In addition, a fibreoptic assessment was made of lary...
متن کاملUse of laryngeal mask airway in pediatric adenotonsillectomy.
OBJECTIVE To compare the use of flexible laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal tube (ETT) in pediatric adenotonsillectomy. DESIGN Prospective randomized trial. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS One hundred thirty-one children (aged 2-12 years). Exclusion criteria were body mass index (calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared) greater than...
متن کاملSubmental Intubation with Reinforced Tube for Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway
Submental endotracheal intubation is a simple and secure alternative to either nasoendotracheal intubation or a tracheostomy in the airway management of maxillofacial trauma. However, a submental endotracheal intubation is quite difficult to manage if adverse events such as a tube obstruction, accidental extubation, or a leaking cuff with the endotracheal tube in the submental route occur, whic...
متن کاملKTP laser-resistant properties of the reinforced laryngeal mask airway.
We have assessed, in vitro, the effect of KTP laser strike on the reinforced laryngeal mask airway (RLMA) under a variety of conditions. At power densities normally encountered in clinical practice, using a divergent KTP laser beam, the RLMA could not be penetrated and did not ignite with laser strike. The RLMA was penetrated at a high power density of 6.94 W mm-2 after 45-60 s. A flame appeare...
