摘要
To the Editor: In their Video in Clinical Medicine, Lighthall et al. (Nov. 14 issue)(1) illuminate the utility of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in airway management during cardiopulmonary arrest. However, the existing data supporting the emergency application of this and other supraglottic airway devices (e.g., the laryngeal tube) are limited and conflicting. Lighthall et al. state that LMA placement is usually successful on the first attempt, but a meta-analysis showed that the success rate for prehospital LMA insertion was only 85%.(2) Numerous observational studies have not shown reliable differences in outcomes for cardiopulmonary arrest between the use of supraglottic ...
