Abstract
During the phase 1, the anaesthesiologist held the GLMA in a stable fashion while the endoscopist tried to advance the duodenoscope through the "gastro" channel. Endoscopic procedures, including oesophagogastro duodenoscopy and endoscopic retrogradecholangio pancreatography (ERCP) often necessitate sedation or anaesthesia, and airway devices, such as the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) are often useful, particularly in certain populations, to maintain ventilation.[[1]] The Gastro LMA (GLMA) of Teleflex (Teleflex - 3015 Carrington Mill Boulevard, Morrisville, NC 27560, USA) is built to allow both ventilation/breathing and the insertion of endoscopes - both gastroscopes and duodenoscopes.[[2]] The LMA component functions as a regular LMA. We conclude that our modification is a simple solution readily applicable to facilitate the insertion of any duodenoscope through the GLMA. [Extracted from the article]
