| Message: | The Silicone Laryngeal Mask LMA is a minimally invasive device designed for airway management in the unconscious patient. An inflatable mask is fitted with a tube that exits the mouth to permit ventilation of the lungs. The mask fits against the periglottic tissues, occupying the hypopharyngeal space and forming a seal above the glottis instead of within the trachea. Originally produced as a single, general-purpose design in a range of sizes, it is currently made in various forms to satisfy different requirements.
The LMA is a supraglottic airway management device. A substantial body of literature, while supporting the wisdom of exercising caution when learning to use the supraglottic approach, provides ample evidence of a wide range of uses that go beyond those originally postulated. url:http://www.jieyingmed.com |
