Efficacy of the laryngeal tube during intermittent positive‐pressure ventilation

Abstract: SummaryWe studied the efficacy of the laryngeal tube (VBM, Germany) during intermittent positivepressure ventilation in 50 patients. After induction of anaesthesia and neuromuscular blockade, a size 4 laryngeal tube was inserted for patients of height 155 cm or greater. After insertion of the laryngeal tube, its pharyngeal and oesophageal balloons were inflated to an intracuff pressure of 60 cmH 2 O. An Ambu self-inflating bag was attached to the laryngeal tube and the lungs were ventilated manually at 15 brea… Show more

“…[14][15][16][17]. Again, these discrepancies may be due to the fact that different airway management trainers were used and the fact that the 'anatomy' of the trainers is better or less suited for a specific airway device.…”

“…The left internal thoracic vein accompanies the left internal thoracic artery, passes a finger's breath from the border of the sternum and is situated closer to the sternal end of the clavicle compared with the left superior intercostal vein. The chest X-ray usually shows the catheter passing through or to the left of the aortic knuckle [1]. Although our patient came to no harm there was a danger of vessel rupture, incorrect CVP pressure readings and failure to deliver essential fluids and drugs.…”

“…The catheter has been reported to be found in the right or left internal thoracic vein [1], the left superior intercostal vein [2] and in a partial anomalous pulmonary venous channel [3]. The left superior intercostal vein drains blood from the left second and third intercostal veins, runs over the arch of aorta and empties into the left brachiocephalic vein.…”

“…A single pilot balloon and inflation tubing inflate both cuffs. Early clinical studies suggest that there is a high insertion success rate, 2 3 but spontaneous breathing has a high failure rate. 4 In the following study, we determine the influence of cuff volume and anatomic location on hypopharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal mucosal pressures for the LTA.…”
