ABSTRACT

We reported a successful airway management in a patient with a diagnosed cervical spinal injury with a non-intubating laryngeal mask AuraOnceTM. Its use was as a rescue airway device after failed orotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy and difficulty with facemask ventilation in a 46-year-old trauma patient. The decision was made to use the non-intubating laryngeal mask as a conduit for the placement of an orotracheal tube, which was done successfully. This alternative use of the Ambu AuraOnce laryngeal mask could be of great value to healthcare workers in resource-poor countries where advanced airway devices are not readily available.
