We report our experience of using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) over a period of 18 months in 217 patients undergoing a variety of otorhinolaryngological operations. Advantages over conventional intubation for both patient and surgeon are suggested in both safety, speed and economy. An inadequate airway, necessitating replacement of the LMA, only occurred on two occasions whilst two known cases of difficult intubation easily had their airways secured by use of the LMA. Protection of the lower airways from secretions, fluid or blood, arising above the LMA, would appear to be confirmed. |
