THE LARYNGEAL MASK—A NEW CONCEPT IN AIRWAY MANAGEMENT

A. I. J. BRAIN, F.F.A.R.C.S.I

Anaesthetics Unit, The London Hospital, Whitechapel London E1 1BB

A new type of airway is described, which may be used as an alternative to either the endotracheal tube or the face-mask with either spontaneous or positive pressure ventilation. The results of a pilot study involving 23 patients are presented and the possible merits and disadvantages of the device are discussed, bearing in mind that the study is of a preliminary nature.
