General anaesthesia is sometimes favoured over regional anaesthesia in ophthalmic surgery. The use of supraglottic airway (SGA) or laryngeal mask airway (LMA) as the primary airway device …

LMA: Advantages Advantages over ET tube and face mask: Improved hemodynamic stability at induction & during emergence. Maintenance of airway while freeing hands & reducing fatigue …

Jan 1, 2014 · Antihistamines (H 2-blockers) should be considered if gastric acidity or oesophageal reflux is a problem, particularly if a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is to be used. Anxiolytics may …

A laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a special breathing tube placed on top of the vocal cords but not going past them like the other breathing tube/endotracheal tube (ET). This can help lessen …

WHAT KINDS OF ANESTHESIA ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADULTS HAVING EYE SURGERY? Eye muscle surgery requires either general anesthesia or local anesthesia to provide adequate …

Oct 1, 2013 · Flexible LMAs provide ventilation lumens that are wire-reinforced, which increase the flexibility of the tube without disrupting the seal at the glottis. These devices are often used …

Background: We prospectively used the laryngeal mask airway (LM) in eye surgery to evaluate: 1) the limits of safe handling; 2) the feasibility of its use in long operative procedures, and 3) …

This study aimed to compare the efficacies of four anesthetic induction drugs (thiopental, propofol, midazolam-thiopental, and etomidate-propofol) on cardiovascular response during laryngeal …

Jul 9, 2020 · Ophthalmic surgery traditionally requires general anesthesia with tracheal intubation that may have deleterious effects on intraocular pressure (IOP) [ 3 ]. LMA has been found to …

In this study, we compared insertion of three different advanced airway devices; endotracheal tube (ETT), laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and I-gel in terms of IOP, hemodynamic changes …
