Silicone Laryngeal Mask is a supraglotic ventilation device. It is a new type of ventilation device between a mask and a tracheal tube, which creates a closed ventilation space around the glottis. Silicone Laryngeal Mask has the advantages of simple operation, easy to master, little damage, and good patient tolerance. It is a new type of ventilation tool commonly used in clinical practice, and is widely used in general anesthesia, especially in short general anesthesia, respiratory management and emergency airway opening during rescue.
Silicone Laryngeal Mask is composed of a hood, a vent tube, an inflation tube, an indication balloon, a check valve and a joint. Among them, the ordinary laryngeal cover is mainly made of medical silicone rubber material, while the strengthened laryngeal cover is mainly made of medical silicone rubber and austenitic stainless steel material.
Silicone Laryngeal Mask can be divided into the first generation standard laryngeal mask, the second generation intubation laryngeal mask and the third generation laryngeal mask with double balloon according to its structure. According to the function, it can be divided into disposable laryngeal mask and reusable laryngeal mask.
Silicone Laryngeal masks have a wide range of applications in the medical field, here are some common uses for Silicone Laryngeal masks:
(1) Maintenance of patient ventilation: Silicone Laryngeal Mask can be used to maintain patient ventilation in a variety of situations, including short periods of general anesthesia during surgery, respiratory management, first aid, and difficult intubation.
(2) Assistance for endotracheal intubation: When patients need endotracheal intubation, Silicone Laryngeal Mask can be used as an auxiliary tool. By inserting the laryngeal mask, the doctor can more easily intubate the trachea and improve the success rate of intubation.
(3) Ventilation of patients with cervical instability: For patients with cervical instability, the use of Silicone Laryngeal Mask can avoid moving the patient's head and neck, thereby reducing potential risks.
(4) Surgical anesthesia: Silicone Laryngeal Mask can be used for anesthesia of various surgeries, including facial burn patients and general anesthesia of body surface and limbs without muscle relaxation.
(5) Emergency rescue: In emergency rescue situations, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Silicone Laryngeal Mask can quickly establish the patient's ventilation channel, so as to gain precious time for rescue.
(6) Eye surgery: Silicone Laryngeal Mask is also used in eye surgery to reduce adverse reactions such as increased eye pressure and postoperative vomiting.
(7) Other applications: Silicone Laryngeal Mask can also be used in surgeries requiring the establishment of artificial pneumoperitoneum such as laparoscopy, as well as as an alternative tool for emergency airway opening.
It is important to note that while Silicone Laryngeal masks are widely used in many situations, each tool has its own indications and limitations. When using Silicone Laryngeal Mask, the decision should be made according to the specific situation of the patient and the recommendation of the doctor, and the relevant operating specifications and precautions should be strictly observed.
Silicone Laryngeal Mask is a new type of ventilation tool with the following features:
(1) Convenient use: Silicone Laryngeal Mask is simple and convenient to use, does not require laryngoscope, easy for beginners to master, can be placed quickly, and has a high success rate.
(2) Little damage: Compared with other ventilation tools, Silicone Laryngeal Mask has less damage to patients, which can reduce the damage to the glottis and mucosal cavity in the internal cavity.
(3) Wide adaptability: Silicone Laryngeal Mask is suitable for patients of all ages, including newborns, children and adults. At the same time, it is also suitable for patients with different weight, such as low weight infants and obese patients.
(4) Few complications: Silicone Laryngeal Mask has relatively few complications, such as reducing aspiration and avoiding regurgitation.
(5) A variety of specifications: Silicone Laryngeal Mask has different sizes and types of specifications, which can be selected according to the age, weight and condition of the patient.
(6) Superior material: The material of Silicone Laryngeal Mask has good flexibility, elasticity and transparency, as well as high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and non-toxicity.
(7) Suitable for first aid and emergency airway opening: In first aid and emergency airway opening, Silicone Laryngeal Mask can quickly establish the patient's ventilation channel, so as to gain precious time for rescue.
In short, Silicone Laryngeal Mask, as an excellent ventilation tool, has a wide range of applications and advantages in the medical field. However, it should be noted that each tool has its own indications and limitations, and the use needs to be made according to the specific situation of the patient and the recommendation of the doctor, and strictly follow the relevant operating norms and precautions. This can ensure that the advantages of Silicone Laryngeal Mask are fully utilized to provide effective protection for the health of patients.
