Lesson 4 - Laryngeal Mask Airway: MICU Fellows Airway Course

[@SamS1]

Why is it that some patients end up getting hiccups after you put in the LMA?

[@onlygirl1635]

Can it be hyperventilation?

[@wajidali4356]

Wonderful

[@cooljazzr]

Is there any reason why LMA couldn't be used in a surgery? Any reason an endotracheal tube would be preferable or required? Is LMA only for short operations?

[@nero91]

You can use it, and it is used. Endotracheal intubation is a more common choice because it is a definitive secure airway that also prevents aspiration in case of reflux or intraoperative vomiting.

[@ksujani7878]

Sir,is there a video on paediatric intubation?

[@katiebond7094]

I was told not to blow the cuff all the way do to blood pressure. Is that different for an LMA?

[@DrGallaghersNeighborhood]

Both LMA and endotracheal tubes can cause mucosal injury via cuff overinflation. So you have to make sure you don't overinflate.
