ABSTRACT
Background: The use of the Laringe Mask in present anesthetic practice has gradually taken a priority position in the protocols of some groups. In it we have found a highly valuable resource for conventional surgery, such as situations which are high-emergency because of endotracheal intubation difficulty.
Material and methods: In the present study, the results of the first 300 cases of airway management in conventional surgical anesthesia are reported. These were carried out in random fashion and without additional information. The objectives of the study were centered on evaluation of the safety, ease of application, possibility of airway management with positive pressure ventilation, length of the procedures, hemodynamic stability and respiratory function, anesthetic depth required, its removal and undesirable collateral effects at the end of the procedure.
Results: The results are reported by patients with a median age of 33.2 years with a median weight of 71 kg. with a duration of 60.5 minutes in a minimum of 10 min. and a maximum of 180. Simple LMA application was achieved in 254 patients, on a second attempt in 36 cases, on a third attempt in 8, and abandoning the procedure in the other 2, where Endotracheal Intubation was resorted to. In 43 % of cases controlled mechanical ventilation was used, controlled manual in 9.6 % and assisted spontaneous ventilation in 47.4 %. The oximeter showed levels above 96 %. The procedure was free of important hemodynamic changes. Upon finishing the procedure, we found 12 patients who reported oropharingeal pain and in 30 % of cases the LMA was bloodstained. Upon removal of the mask we found 10 patients who mentioned nausea without vomiting.
Discusion: The present study demonstrates that the Laringe Mask ia an accesory which delivers a safe and effective procedure with spontaneous ventilation as well as with controlled ventilation, with considerable approval from both the surgical team and the patients themselves.
