Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the airway seal of LMA during intraoperative manipulation.

Detailed description

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is widely used in dental surgery as it provides an unobstructed airway and provides a reliable seal from bleeding and surgical debris. However, there have been few studies of the integrity of the LMA seal during intraoperative surgical manipulation with the use of the LMA. In general anesthesia using LMA, airway and esophagus cannot be separated completely. Insufficient airway seal become the risk of aspiration in airway management. This study will focus on airway seal following LMA use in dental surgery.

Conditions

• Value of Continuous Pressure Monitoring in Laryngeal Mask
