“…Die flexible Larynxmaske erfordert eine etwas andere Technik des Einführens als starre Larynxmasken: Sie muss bei rekliniertem Kopf mit einem zwischen Cuff und Tubus liegenden Zeigefinger vorgeschoben werden. Für die Eingriffe im Mund-und Halsbereich sind Larynxmasken mit flexiblen, drahtverstärkten Tuben (Intavent) notwendig [1]. Dadurch wird das Weiterschieben verhindert.…”

Anaesthesia both for adenotomy (AT) and for tonsillectomy (TE) frequently presents a challenge. On one hand, children scheduled for adenotomy often have upper airway infections and are thus at risk of laryngo- and bronchospasm; on the other hand the ENT surgeon and the anaesthetist have to share the "workspace" in the patient's mouth. Since the succinyl choline debate in the early 1990s, the question of the best muscle relaxant has gone hand in hand with that of the most appropriate means of securing the airway. The concept of the laryngeal mask as airway was initially greeted with scepticism. Following several years' use of the mask for this purpose in AT and TE in young children, we report our experience and summarise the literature on this topic. The laryngeal mask represents a safe alternative to intubation, provided there is close cooperation with the ENT surgeon.

“…4 In 1990, the reinforced laryngeal mask (RLMA) was presented, intended for use during surgical procedures involving the mouth and throat. 5 Although not providing an airway seal within the trachea, the RLMA has several potential advantages over ETT. 1 It is usually inserted blindly, without use of the laryngoscope.…”

“…Many specialized modifications of the LMA have been proposed. 7,8 Pulmonary aspiration is the most serious potential complication of the LMA, although minor complications such as trauma, oral ulcer, and nerve paralysis have been reported. 9 Tanigawa et al 5 reported that the LMA is a safe and useful adjunct for placement of stents when treating patients with upper tracheal stenosis.…”
