The Laryngeal Mask Airway Reliably Provides Rescue Ventilation in Cases of Unanticipated Difficult Tracheal Intubation Along with Difficult Mask Ventilation

Abstract: Twenty-five cases of simultaneous difficulty with mask ventilation and tracheal intubation occurred after the induction of general anesthesia during the study period. The laryngeal mask was used in 17 cases, and it provided rescue ventilation without complication in 94% of these cases (95% confidence interval 77-100).

“…[2][3][4] The laryngeal mask airway has since been shown to be mostly effective in providing rescue ventilation in the majority of CICV situations. 4,5 Currently, the incidence of CICV requiring emergency invasive infraglottic airway insertion may be lower than 2 in 10,000 patients.…”

[2][3][4] According to the latest ASA practice guidelines for management of the difficult airway 6 and the Difficult Airway Society guidelines 7 for management of the unanticipated difficult intubation, in a cannot intubate, face mask ventilation-inadequate situation, insertion of laryngeal mask airway is the recommended step.…”

“…This despite its ease of use and affirmed efficacy as a salvage airway in the cannot intubate -cannot ventilate situation. 12 Optimum management of unanticipated airway difficulties requires the ability to rapidly recognize, acknowledge, correctly analyze and respond to the problem with technical facility. Errant or delayed decision-making in this process may lead down an irremediable path to morbidity and mortality.…”
