What is Silicone Laryngeal Mask used for?

　　Silicone Laryngeal Mask is a special type of ventilator, also known as a laryngeal mask ventilator, because it can be used to cover the larynx with a flat, long shaped sleeve made of silicone rubber. Silicone larynx Mask is suitable for patients under general anesthesia, emergency and resuscitation patients in the emergency department, ICU and various departments, and patients with difficult airway. It is an effective means for the establishment of respiratory airway.

　　What is Silicone Laryngeal Mask used for?

　　1.Surgery without the risk of vomiting and reflux, especially in cases with difficulty in tracheal intubation. For patients with difficult intubation, Silicone Laryngeal Mask could be used as emergency effective ventilation tube in cases where the standard mask could not maintain effective ventilation.

　　2.When intubation is difficult and forced use of laryngeal catheter is required, laryngeal catheter can be used as a guide for endotracheal intubation. The tracheal catheter guide or fiberoptic bronchoscope is inserted into the laryngeal mask and into the trachea, and then the endotracheal catheter is inserted into the trachea;

　　3.Fiber optic bronchoscope laser ablation of vocal cords, trachea or bronchial small tumors can be performed through laryngeal mask;

　　4.When there are great concerns about the need to move the head for the implementation of air tube intubation in patients with cervical instability, it is best to use laryngeal ventilation, so that there is no need to do mobile operations on the head and neck;

　　5.Laryngeal mask is suitable for ophthalmic surgery, which can cause less cough and vomiting after eye pressure increase. The reaction of laryngeal mask removal is light, and the fluctuation width of intraocular pressure is small, which is conducive to ensuring the therapeutic effect of eye surgery and beneficial to patients with angle-closure glaucoma.

　　6.Laparoscopy affects breathing due to diaphragmatic elevation caused by pneumoperitoneum, and the insertion of laryngeal mask is conducive to patient ventilation. The duration of laparoscopy is usually short, and the use of a laryngeal mask is generally less likely to cause vomiting;

　　7.Placing the laryngeal mask during emergency resuscitation is relatively simple, convenient and reliable, and can gain precious time for every second. According to statistics, 86% of patients with cardiopulmonary resuscitation with laryngeal placement could obtain satisfactory ventilation effects before defibrillation;

　　8.It is suitable for general anesthesia of body surface and limbs without muscle relaxation, and also suitable for facial burn patients.

　　The advantages of Silicone Laryngeal Mask

　　1,easy to operate, can quickly build artificial airway;

　　2,high placement success rate, reliable ventilation;

　　3,avoid throat and trachea mucous membrane damage;

　　4,Less stimulation and less cardiovascular response;

　　5,can be used for emergency situations.
