Intubating laryngeal mask airway versus laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in the nuclear, biological, and chemical environment.

OBJECTIVE: Intubation is a difficult skill under normal circumstances and more so with a limited visual field such as wearing a protective mask in a chemical or biological incident. This study sought to determine whether successful intubation using the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) under protective mask conditions was equivalent to standard endotracheal intubation. METHODS: A pilot study was conducted using emergency medicine personnel. Participant's attempted intubation of a manikin while wearing a standard U.S. Army M-40 protective mask. Two attempts were performed with each method. RESULTS: One hundred percent of the ILMA placements were successful with only 78% success with endotracheal intubation (p = 0.1). Time to successful intubation and ventilation was significantly less for the ILMA versus endotracheal intubation (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that under simulated chemical and biological conditions using an M-40 protective mask, intubation is accomplished faster and with more success with the ILMA.

[Choice of lung ventilation at suspension laryngoscopy in patients with laryngeal neoplasms].

Three methods of artificial ventilation (AV) (volumetric, high-frequency injection, and high-frequency percutaneous transtracheal jet ventilations) were studied in 340 patients when laryngeal tumors were removed, by using a Stortz laryngoscope under multicomponent general anesthesia and local airways anesthesia. Examining the parameters of respiration and circulation in the use of three AV methods has indicated the advantages of the high-frequency percutaneous ventilation that ensures the prevention of aspiration complications and steady-state values of gas exchange and blood circulation, including in those with laryngeal stenosis and at a high risk for hemorrhage.
