The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been used in various animal species anesthetized for the purpose of device evaluation, but the device has not been evaluated in rabbits during surgery. The authors tested the feasibility and potential advantages of using the LMA in 50 rabbits undergoing surgery under spontaneous-breathing inhalational anesthesia, focusing mainly on the technique of insertion and its efficacy. The LMA was easily inserted and no air leakage at the larynx was detected. Although four rabbits developed lingual cyanosis, this was reversible and most likely due to lingual vascular compression by the LMA. The authors conclude that the LMA is an attractive alternative to endotracheal intubation, as the mask can be inserted easily and rapidly and its correct placement is easily confirmed.
喉罩气道（LMA）已被用于各种接受麻醉的动物物种，以进行设备评估，但该设备尚未在兔手术过程中进行评估。作者测试了在50只接受自主呼吸吸入麻醉的兔手术中使用LMA的可行性和潜在优势，主要关注插入技术及其效果。LMA易于插入，未检测到喉部漏气。虽然有4只兔出现舌部发绀，但这是可逆的，很可能是由于LMA对舌部血管的压迫所致。作者得出结论，LMA是气管插管的一种有吸引力的替代方法，因为面罩可以轻松快速地插入，并且其正确放置很容易确认。
