BackgroundThe laryngeal tube (LT ; Smiths Medical, Minnesota, U. S. A) is an inflatable supraglottic device for emergency airway management such as during chest compression, the instability after insertion remains a problem.MethodsWe investigated the effectiveness of three fixation methods of LT using a manikin and automated chest compressor.ResultsAfter 10-minute chest compression, LT without fixation was shifted by 0.4 ± 0.1 cm, which was greater than with Durapore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), Multipore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), or a neck tape (0.1 ± 0.1 cm). The shift of the position was smaller with neck tape fixation compared to Durapore or Multipore tape fixation.ConclusionsA fixation neck tape may be useful in stabilizing the inserted position of LT during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
