Continuous ventilation technique for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) removal after fiberoptic intubation in children.
Fiberoptic tracheal intubation through the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a simple technique to establish a safe airway in neonates and infants with a difficult airway. The technique, however, is complicated by the removal of the laryngeal mask from the patient's mouth because of the similarity in length of the LMA and the tracheal tube. ⋯ The technique is simple and safe, can be performed without hurry and carries potential advantages for neonates and children with limited cardiorespiratory reserve.
