Abstract:BACKGROUND: The hypothesis that airway resistance is less with the laryngeal mask airway than with the endotracheal tube was tested. METHODS: Thirty-six paralyzed, anesthetized adult patients with no respiratory disease (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1-3; age, 18-80 yr) were randomly allocated (9 men, 9 women in each group) to receive either a size-4 laryngeal mask airway or an endotracheal tube (men, 9-mm ID; women, 8-mm ID). A pulmonary monitor with flow transducer and esophageal balloon was used to measure peak airway pressure and mean airway resistance (device resistance plus pulmonary airway resistance) at three different tidal volumes (5, 10, and 15 ml/kg). Device resistance was measured in vitro with the distal end of the endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway open to the atmosphere and using the same ventilator settings. Pulmonary airway resistance was derived by subtracting the mean device resistance from the mean airway resistance. RESULTS: Peak airway pressure, mean airway resistance, device resistance, and pulmonary airway resistance were greater for the endotracheal tube (all P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The laryngeal mask airway triggers less bronchoconstriction than does the endotracheal tube in paralyzed anesthetized adult patients. This may have implications for maintaining intraoperative pulmonary function and reducing the risk for atelectasis and pulmonary infection.
