Popis: To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) ventilation in obese patients with airway stenosis.A retrospective chart review was conducted in an academic practice in a tertiary care center.We retrospectively reviewed our experience using LMA ventilation in obese patients with airway stenosis. Lowest intraoperative OFourteen bronchoscopies with laser incisions and dilation were performed in patients with airway stenosis exclusively using LMA ventilation. Thirteen of 14 procedures were performed on patients who had body mass index (BMI) 30 kg/mIn this small series of obese patients with airway stenosis, LMA anesthesia was effectively used without major or minor complications.4.
