Use of the Intubating LMA-Fastrach™ in 254 Patients with Difficult-to-manage Airways

Abstract

The LMA-Fastrach was used successfully in a high percentage of patients who presented with a variety of DA. The clinical experience presented herein indicates that this device may be particularly useful in the emergency and elective treatment of patients in whom intubation with a rigid laryngoscope has failed and in the treatment of patients with immobilized cervical spines.
