Airway management in two of newborns with Pierre Robin sequence: The use of disposable vs multiple use LMA for fiberoptic intubation

Anesthesiology

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the use of LMAs as a conduit to intubate the trachea of two Pierre Robin Sequence infants. Multiple use LMAs will admit larger diameter tracheal tubes (TT) than their disposable counterparts. Increased friction with the surface of the TT makes passing even small diameter tubes through the lumen of the disposable LMA difficult. © 2006 The Authors.
