A study of BlockBuster laryngeal mask airway versus Fastrach/Intubating laryngeal mask airway as a conduit for blind oro-tracheal intubation: A prospective randomized controlled study
Abstract:A Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has two parts, a simple breathing tube and a mask. The mask at the laryngeal end of the tube aligns against the glottis and provides better channel of ventilation than the face mask. There have been modifications in the basic design of the LMA to incorporate gastric drainage channel and some devices are also equipped with a channel for intubation to secure airway by guiding endotracheal tube (ETT) through it. In this study we evaluated the performance of two LMA devices that can a… Show more
