Abstract:
The flexible laryngeal mask airway is a commonly used airway management tool in pedi-atric anesthesia.It has a flexible and crush-resistant long ventilatory tube,which is easy to secure and allows for full exposure of the surgical field without obstructing the surgical procedure.However,anatomical factors such as a large tongue and a high laryngeal prominence in pediatric patients can make it difficult to insert and position the flexible laryngeal mask airway.Additionally,the lower sealing pressure of the flexible laryn-geal mask airway increases the risk of intraoperative air leakage and aspiration.This article provides a review of the clinical application progress of flexible laryngeal mask in children,giving insights for optimizing perio-perative airway management,thereby improving surgical safety and reducing postoperative complications.
