How to properly use the disposable laryngeal mask airway?

Date:2022-10-28
The Medical Disposable Laryngeal mask airway is a disposable device used during airway management. It is a device that is made of plastic and is intended to conform to the shape of the human larynx. It has been designed to prevent leakage and infection, while still maintaining a good seal. A fiberscope placed at the inner aperture of the device can help the physician determine its appropriateness.

The  laryngeal mask airway can also be used for direct fiberoptic intubation. Its angled design makes it easier to see the glottis when intubating. In addition, it is easy to insert and remove. In clinical studies,  laryngeal mask airways have been used for over 200 million times. They have greatly improved the safety and comfort of airway management worldwide.

When to use a laryngeal mask airway, many indications exist and several complications. The appropriate use of the device requires a team effort and clear communication among all health care providers. The video can be helpful in making the appropriate choice. It is important to note that the device should be durable, reliable, and easy to use.

Before using the laryngeal mask airway, patients must first be positioned in the correct position. The cuff of the laryngeal mask airway is placed on the hard palate and the index finger of the right hand is used to guide the tube over the back of the tongue. The tube is then advanced over the back of the tongue until the characteristic resistance is felt. The reverse technique is also commonly used.
