Comparative Study[Condition of the larynx affected by the laryngeal mask during general anesthesia].
A new generation artificial airway--a laryngeal mask (LM)--was examined for effects on a laryngeal function in general anesthesia. Topographic-anatomic characteristics of the upper respiratory tracts which make impossible an adequate wearing of LM as well as frequency and severity of laryngeal LM-induced complications were specified. ⋯ LM provides general anesthesia in problematic intubation. Employment of LM raises quality of anesthesia, reduces the number of intra- and postoperative laryngeal complications in conduction of general anesthesia.
