“…Theoretically, the LMA may have a role in the weaning of patients with good pulmonary compliance. The efficacy of the LMA has also been reported in a case in which ventilation of a neonate with face mask had failed during helicopter transportation [33].…”

“…Although this device cannot be considered as a substitute for the endotracheal tube, it could play an ancillary role, particularly in situations where assistance to the asphyxiated neonate is offered by paramedical staff or doctors who may have difficulty maintaining a high level of skill. Higher rate of successful resuscitation, higher 5' Apgar scores, and less NICU admissions were seen than infants resuscitated with a facemask (P < 0.05 [32,33]:…”

Positive pressure ventilation with Ambu bag and face masks or T-piece resuscitation in preterm babies have proved their worth in acute neonatal airway management. However, failure rates are high and endotracheal intubation is the final life-saving procedure. However, intubation is an invasive procedure and requires good expertise, especially for handling acute emergency situations. Expertise of trainees as well as consultants is coming down rapidly due to various reasons. In these situations, supraglottic airways (laryngeal mask airway or LMA) seem to be ideal. Here, we are reviewing the application and utility of LMA in acute neonatal airway management.

This review examines the airway adjuncts currently used to acutely manage the neonatal airway. It describes the challenges encountered with facemask ventilation and intubation. Evidence is presented on how to optimise intubation safety and success rates with the use of videolaryngoscopy and attention to the intubation environment. The supraglottic airway (laryngeal mask airway) is emerging as a promising neonatal airway adjunct. It can be used effectively with little training to provide a viable alternative to facemask ventilation and intubation in neonatal resuscitation and be used as an alternative conduit for the administration of surfactant.
