The use of the laryngeal mask airway, a new form of airway, is described in infants and young children receiving radiotherapy under general anesthesia. The laryngeal mask airway consists of a tube, at the distal end of which is attached an elliptically shaped cuff resembling a miniature face mask. The laryngeal mask is inserted blindly into the pharynx, and its cuff forms a low pressure seal around the larynx through which the patient can breathe spontaneously. No complications occurred during use of the laryngeal mask in 25 children who received 312 anesthetics. This experience suggests that the laryngeal mask airway has a valuable role in this situation and may contribute to the safety of anesthesia.
本文描述了在全身麻醉下接受放疗的婴幼儿中使用新型气道——喉罩气道的情况。喉罩气道由一根管子组成，在其远端连接着一个椭圆形的套囊，类似一个微型面罩。喉罩被盲目插入咽部，其套囊在喉部周围形成低压密封，患者可通过该密封进行自主呼吸。在25名接受312次麻醉的儿童使用喉罩过程中未发生并发症。这一经验表明，喉罩气道在这种情况下具有重要作用，可能有助于提高麻醉安全性。
