Lma In The Prone Position Procrna We investigated whether insertion of an lma supreme™ and its use for maintenance of anaesthesia is feasible in the prone position. forty adult patients positioned themselves prone and were given propofol until the bispectral index was < 50. General anesthesia was provided using an lma in the prone position. pre vious reports of the use of the lma for prone surgical procedures are reviewed and its applications in such si tuations are discussed.
Proseal Lma Insertion In Prone Position A Self Positioned Patient In We have used classic laryngeal mask airway successfully in patients who need controlled ventilation during short, moderate and even long duration surgeries in prone position. One of the authors has developed a technique for providing anesthesia in the prone position for minor surgical procedures and has experience of over 600 cases without significant complications. the aim of this communication is to describe this technique and report a prospective audit of 73 patients. Positioning an anesthetized patient prone is challenging with regard to manpower requirement, time to surgical readiness and airway management. the proseal laryngeal mask airway™ (plma) is emerging as a suitable alternative, both as a primary and a. During lma insertion in the prone position, keeping the neck flexed and the head extended does not seem to be needed because the tongue falls anteriorly by gravity (1,3), and the head may be slightly turned to the side (1) or extended (2,3).

The last given option was to insert an extraglottic device such as lma supreme tm in the prone position, which was supported by large experience with use of this device in elective surgery in both supine and prone positioning. We recommend that insertion of the lma supreme in the prone position is only performed in patients who can easily be rotated back into the supine position in the event of failed insertion. Effectiveness and overall safety of lma use in prone position was observed, allowing further utilizations in selected patients according to the anesthesia department protocol. Induction and insertion of lma were performed when they were already prone. results: there were neither complications nor airway loss when lma was used in the prone position.
