Introduction and use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway as a rescue device in a pre-hospital trauma anaesthesia algorithm.
Resuscitation · 2008-11-14 · Case report
Abstract
We report the successful use of the Proseal laryngeal mask airway as a rescue device in three pre-hospital cases where tracheal intubation after induction of anaesthesia had failed. The ProSeal LMA allowed ventilation and oxygenation of all three patients under difficult circumstances.
