Value of Continuous Pressure Monitoring in Laryngeal Mask
Conditions
Keywords
LMA, Leak, Sore Throat
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the airway seal of LMA during intraoperative manipulation.
Detailed description
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is widely used in dental surgery as it provides an unobstructed airway and provides a reliable seal from bleeding and surgical debris. However, there have been few studies of the integrity of the LMA seal during intraoperative surgical manipulation with the use of the LMA. In general anesthesia using LMA, airway and esophagus cannot be separated completely. Insufficient airway seal become the risk of aspiration in airway management. This study will focus on airway seal following LMA use in dental surgery.
Interventions
DEVICELaryngeal Mask
General anaesthesia using LMA will be performed as per standard procedure. A pressure gauge will be connected to the LMA using a small cable to measure the LMA cuff pressure continuously.
