comparison of the reinforced Laryngeal Mask Airway and tracheal intubation for adenotonsillectomy
BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1993Co-Authors: P J Williams, P M BaileyAbstract:SUMMARY One hundred and four patients were allocated randomly to receive anaesthesia for adenotonsillectomy via either a reinforced Laryngeal Mask Airway or a tracheal tube. Airway maintenance and protection were assessed during and after operation. The reinforced Laryngeal Mask did not interfere with surgical access; it resisted compression and protected the lower Airway from contamination with blood. Four patients were withdrawn from the Laryngeal Mask Airway group: two because of difficulty with placement, and two because the Laryngeal Mask was obstructed distally when the Boyle Davis gag was opened fully. In children, recovery was less eventful in the Laryngeal Mask Airway group, with less Airway obstruction (P

reinforced Laryngeal Mask Airway compared with endotracheal tube for adenotonsillectomies
European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2010Co-Authors: Simen Doksrod, Brith Lofgren, Anita Nordhammer, Martin V Svendsen, Lars Gisselsson, Johan RaederAbstract:BackgroundThe endotracheal tube (ETT) has traditionally been considered the best Airway device during adenotonsillectomy because a well protected and secured Airway is provided. This has been challenged by the introduction of the reinforced Laryngeal Mask Airway (RLMA). It does not kink, is less tra

safety and efficacy of Laryngeal Mask Airway supreme versus Laryngeal Mask Airway proseal a randomized controlled trial
European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2010Co-Authors: Edwin Seet, Subramanyam Rajeev, Tamal Firoz, Farhanah Yousaf, Jean Wong, David T Wong, Frances ChungAbstract:Background and objectiveThe Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is a new single-use polyvinyl chloride supraglottic device that combines the functionality of the ProSeal and Fastrach Airways. High oropharyngeal leak pressures are important as they indicate Airway protection, feasibility of positive

randomized trial of endotracheal tube versus Laryngeal Mask Airway in simulated prehospital pediatric arrest
Pediatrics, 2008Co-Authors: Lei Chen, Allen L HsiaoAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Proficiency in Airway management in children is difficult to acquire and maintain for prehospital providers. The Laryngeal Mask Airway is a relatively new Airway device. Its ease of use makes it an attractive potential alternative to endotracheal tubes in pediatrics. The objective of this study was to investigate whether, in simulated cardiopulmonary arrests in children, the use of Laryngeal Mask Airway, compared with endotracheal tubes, results in shorter time to effective ventilation when performed by prehospital providers. METHODS: A randomized, crossover study was conducted in a local paramedic training program. Fifty-two emergency medical technicians agreed to participate. After a 2-hour training session, an arrest scenario was presented to each participant by using an infant-sized human patient simulator. The participants were randomly assigned first to use 1 of the 2 devices. Time to successful ventilation was recorded. Number of attempts and results were recorded. After the Airway was secured successfully, the scenario was repeated with the alternative device. RESULTS: The mean +/- SD length of time to effective ventilation was 46 seconds when using endotracheal tubes and 23 seconds when using Laryngeal Mask Airway, with a mean difference of 23 seconds. The mean number of attempts to achieve effective ventilation was 1.27 when using endotracheal tubes and 1.1 when using Laryngeal Mask Airway. There were 9 (17%) episodes of esophageal intubations and 14 (27%) episodes of right main-stem intubations in the endotracheal tube group, and there were 5 (9.5%) episodes of malposition in the Laryngeal Mask Airway group. CONCLUSIONS: In simulated pediatric arrests, the use of Laryngeal Mask Airway, compared with endotracheal tubes, led to more rapid establishment of effective ventilation and fewer complications when performed by prehospital providers.
