Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway

Background The intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA; Fastrach; Laryngeal Mask Company, Henley-on-Thames, UK) may provide an alternative technique to fiberoptic intubation (FIB) to facilitate the management of the anticipated difficult airway. The authors therefore compared the effectiveness of the ILMA with FIB in patients with anticipated difficult intubation. Methods One hundred patients, with at least one difficult intubation criteria (Mallampati class III or IV, thyromental distance < 65 mm, interincisor distance < 35 mm) were enrolled (FIB group, n = 49; ILMA group, n = 51) in this prospective randomized study. Anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with alfentanil and propofol after an efficient mask ventilation has been demonstrated. The success of the technique (within three attempts), the number of attempts, duration of the successful attempt, and adverse events (oxygen saturation < 90%, bleeding) were recorded. Results The rate of successful tracheal intubation with ILMA was 94% and comparable with FIB (92%). The number of attempts and the time to succeed were not significantly different between groups. In case of failure of the first technique, the alternative technique always succeeded. Failures in FIB group were related to oxygen desaturation (oxygen saturation < 90%) and bleeding, and to previous cervical radiotherapy in the ILMA group. Adverse events occurred significantly more frequently in FIB group than in ILMA group (18 vs. 0%, P < 0.05). Conclusion The authors obtained a high success rate and comparable duration of tracheal intubation with ILMA and FIB techniques. In patients with previous cervical radiotherapy, the use of ILMA cannot be recommended. Nevertheless, the use of the ILMA was associated with fewer adverse events.

Introduction: Airway management with unstable cervical spine is a major challenge to anesthetist. Conventional direct laryngoscopy causes substantial movement of cervical spine and can cause neurological decit. Newer devices like Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway(ILMA) and Trachlight avoid cervical spine movement. To compare rate of successful tracheal Aim: intubation with Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway™ with Trachlight® in anaesthetised and paralysed adults with manual in line stabilization Method and Materials: 50 patients were included in the study and allocated in two groups. In the ILMA group ,patients were ventilated and then intubated through the ILma. IN the Trachlight group, patients were intubated using trachlight. Success rate , time taken for intubation and post operative sore throat and hoarseness of voice were compared between the two groups. Results: In the ILMA group,21 patients could be adequately ventilated in the rst attempt and 4 in second attempt. 12 patients could be successfully intubated. 9 patients could be intubated in the rst attempt and 3 patients in second attempt. In the Trachlight , 24 patients could be intubated in the rst attempt and one patient in second attempt. Intubation time was 14.08 ± 2.23 seconds in the ILMA group whereas in Trachlight group it was 26.48 ± 9.13 seconds(p value of <0.0001) In healthy anaesthetized,paralysed adults with manual in line stabiliz Conclusion: ation Trachlight assistance at tracheal intubation provides high rst attempt success.ILMA is an effective ventilation device, but an unacceptably high failure rate at blind tracheal intubation.
