Laryngeal Mask Airway for the Interhospital Transport of Neonates

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Airway control during interhospital transport may present enormous management difficulties, even for experienced personnel. The laryngeal mask airway is an airway management device that has been established as a safe reliable tool in adult and pediatric practice. We describe 2 cases of successful interhospital transfer of infants with congenital airway malformations with the use of the laryngeal mask airway, and we review the literature.

“…Laryngeal mask ventilation is also used by some practitioners for short-term mechanical ventilation or transport purposes. 38 Newer methods of ventilation such as the neurally adjusted ventilator assist method, which can be used invasively or noninvasively, in which the ventilation is controlled by diaphragmatic electrical activity, may gain popularity in NICUs. 39 Practices such as use of a minimally invasive approach in the delivery suite and early administration of surfactant may help reduce the number of infants who undergo prolonged mechanical ventilation and its long-term complications.…”

“…There are some published case reports of its use, especially in babies with difficult airways [47][48][49]. There are no RCTs comparing its effectiveness against high-flow/continuous positive airway pressure or endotracheal intubation during transport.…”

“…The fact that four subjects presented as exitus suggests that stabilization before transportation and equipment necessary for transport or interventions were insufficient. If there is an insufficiency in terms of giving respiratory support by face mask in newborns with respiratory problems during transportation or there is a problem in placing a tracheal tube, respiratory support by laryngeal mask may be an option (21).…”
