BACKGROUND: The summary of various studies done looking at size selection of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in adults is that, selection based on sex is appropriate, and that both sizes 4 or 5 are adequate for adult females. However, in our local population these sizes may be too large especially the size 5 for adult females. OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal size of LMA in Malaysian female adults. METHOD: 135 ASA 1 or 2 adult female patients coming for elective surgery, requiring general anaesthesia suitable for LMA insertion were randomised into 3 groups to receive either a size 3, 4 or 5 LMA. Optimal size of the LMA was assessed based on 4 parameters, the number of attempts at placement, the oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), fibre optic score and the percentage of the vocal cords seen. RESULTS: The 3 groups were demographically similar. There was no difference in the 3 groups in terms of number of attempts of placement, OLP and fibre-optic score. The percentage of vocal cords seen with the size 3 LMA was significantly less than for the size 4 and size 5 (p = 0.009). For the size 5 LMA group in 10/45 patients, the size 5 LMA was too big making it incorrectly positioned after successful insertion and in another 3/45 patients it was difficult to pass the size 5 LMA past the open mouth during insertion. There were no such problems with the size 3 or 4 LMA groups. CONCLUSION: The optimal size of LMA for the female Malaysian adult is size 4.

BACKGROUND: Reusable Proseal(TM) laryngeal mask airways (PLMAs) can act as a vector for the transmission of prion diseases such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. This study tested the hypothesis that supplementary ultrasonic cleaning facilitates the removal of protein deposits on PLMAs after anesthesia. METHODS: After clinical use, 40 PLMAs were randomly allocated into two groups. In the first group, the PLMAs were washed by hand and were then subsequently placed in an autoclave at 134degrees C for 40 min (Group 1, n = 20). In the second group, the PLMAs were washed by hand and ultrasonic cleaning using an enzymatic solution for 5 min, and were then subsequently placed in an autoclave (Group 2, n = 20). In both groups, protein deposits were detected on PLMAs by erythrosin staining. A staining score designated as none (0%), mild (0-20%), moderate (20-80%) and severe (80-100%), was assigned to each site (outer surface, inner surface and edges of the cuff, airway and drain tube, finger strap) according to the percentage of the stained surface area. RESULTS: Despite the cleaning of the masks, residual protein was found on the outer surface, inner surface and edge of the cuff, airway and drain tube, and finger strap of the PLMAs in both groups. Similar scores were observed for each part of the cleaned PLMAs in both groups, except for the outer surface of the PLMAs in Group 2 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the use of an ultrasonic cleaner with an enzymatic solution may be effective to cleanse the outer surface of the PLMAs, but there were no differences in the total scores for both groups.
