Overview
Laryngeal mask airway represents a simple, effective and safe way to secure the airway during general anaesthesia. In the hands of an experiencedanaesthesiologist, its insertion is safe even in different positions of a patient. LMA can be used for both spontaneous and positive pressure ventilation.The complication rate with LMA compared to standard tracheal intubation is not higher, and t he complications appear to be less critical.
Key words:
