摘要:
AbstractThe ideal airway requirements for oral surgery are the provision of a stable, unobstructed airway, protection of the lungs from aspiration, minimal interference with the surgical field and a low complication rate. Neither the nasal mask nor endotracheal tube meet these requirements. The laryngeal mask airway (LMA), provides a third type of airway for consideration in oral surgery that offers some of the benefits of intubation and avoids many of the associated hazards. It can be inserted without use of a laryngoscope or muscle relaxants, and is designed to produce an airtight seal around the laryngeal inlet. It provides a secure airway suitable for spontaneous or controlled ventilation and acts as an airtight throat pack. Scavenging of waste gases is possible, and it is well tolerated during recovery. A modification, specifically designed for head, neck and dental anaesthesia, has recently become available. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of the LMA with special emphasis on its use in oral surgery.
