Abstract:
The Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA) is an advanced type of laryngeal mask airway (LMA), designed to facilitate tracheal intubation with an endotracheal tube. Its use in a 44 year old female with an anticipated difficult airway due to severe burn contractures in the neck and axilla, with lid ectropion, will be discussed. (Author)
