Abstract
Summary: Clinical and fibreoptic assessment of the positioning of the laryngeal mask airway was performed in 100 children. Clinical observation indicated a patent airway in 98% and severe airway obstruction in 2% of cases. Perfect positioning, as judged by fibreoptic laryngoscopy, was found in 49% and the epiglottis was within the mask in 49%. Fibreoptic evidence of partial airway obstruction in 17%, was not detected clinically.Keywords
