The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has gained popularity as an airway management device in the perioperative setting due to its ease of use, reduced invasiveness compared to endotracheal intubation, and lower incidence of complications. However, hiccups, though relatively uncommon, can pose a significant challenge during the perioperative period when an LMA is in place. Abrupt movement because of hiccups can lead to delay in surgery as well as interfere with surgical instrumentation. This discussion presents a case where perioperative hiccups occurred with LMA use and explores the management strategies employed.
喉罩气道（LMA）作为一种气道管理设备，因其使用方便、与气管插管相比侵入性降低以及并发症发生率较低，在围手术期环境中越来越受欢迎。然而，呃逆虽然相对不常见，但在使用LMA的围手术期可能会带来重大挑战。呃逆引起的突然动作可能导致手术延迟，并干扰手术器械操作。本讨论介绍了一例使用LMA时发生围手术期呃逆的病例，并探讨了所采用的管理策略。
