Dec 5, 2024 · Two common choices for securing the airway among these devices are the endotracheal tube (ETT) and the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). This article examines the distinctions between endotracheal tubes and laryngeal mask airways, offering information that might help medical professionals make wise decisions.

The endotracheal tube (ETT) and the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) are possible strategies for airway management during tracheal resection and reconstruction for tracheal and laryngotracheal stenosis. The goal of the study was to analyse and compare ...

When picking between an LMA and an ETT, think about the patient's airway, the risk of choking, how long the procedure will take, and the need for controlled breathing. Use an LMA for shorter, less invasive procedures and an ETT for longer or more serious cases.

In patients under general anesthesia, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a valuable alternative to endotracheal intubation to maintain the airway. In this study, we compared the efficacy of LMA with an endotracheal tube (ETT) in plastic and ...

Mar 19, 2025 · Securing a patient’s airway is critical in anesthesia and emergency medicine. Two commonly used devices for this purpose are the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the endotracheal tube (ETT). While both facilitate ventilation, they differ in design, placement, and function, making each suitable for specific clinical scenarios.

Nov 2, 2023 · Videotape and physiologic parameters of LMA (n = 36) and ETT (n = 31) placement procedures for infants 28–36 weeks gestation were reviewed. Duration of attempts (32 vs 66 s, p < 0.001) and mean...

The present study compared respiratory parameters between the two methods of airway establishment, ETT and LMA, for patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery with general anesthesia. This randomized double-blinded clinical trial was conducted on ...

A laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is often used for general anaesthesia and can also be used during PDT. It is secured in the throat and does not have to be withdrawn during the PDT, although the seal of the LMA is not as effective as that of an ETT. Study characteristics. The evidence is current to January 2018.

May 1, 2004 · There are several studies 6, 7, 8 comparing the use of the LMA with endotracheal tube (ETT). Todd 7 found a significantly shorter recovery time for the LMA for ambulatory oral surgery, whereas Joshi et al.6 found no significant differences between times needed for placement or for removal of the two airway devices during ambulatory surgery.

喉罩气道 (Laryngeal Mask Airway, LMA) 是 Archie Brain（医学博士）在 1983 年发明的，作为面罩和气管内导管 (Endotracheal Tube, ETT) 的替代性气道器械。 1 自确立了经典的 LMA 以来，该器械经历了多次改进和修改（表 1）。
