AbstractTracheal intubation through a laryngeal mask airway is one option for securing an airway in the patient with a difficult airway. A variety of techniques and equipment have been used to stabilize the position of the tracheal tube while removing the laryngeal mask airway. We have shown that if a fibreoptic bronchoscope is used to place an tracheal tube through a laryngeal mask in neonates, additional equipment is not needed to remove the laryngeal mask airway without endangering tracheal tube placement. This is possible even in small neonates.
