The LMA® ProSeal™ Airway is a reusable, second generation laryngeal mask. Key features include: • Dual seal provides access to and functional separation of the respiratory and digestive tracts

The LMA ProSeal® Airway is the most versatile reusable LMA Airway The double cuff design enables seal pressures of 30cm H2 O and greater to be achieved and the drain tube separates the alimentary and respiratory tracts

LMA ProSeal ® Cleaning Brush *These are maximum volumes that should never be exceeded. It is recommended the cuff be inflated to 60 cm H 2 O intracuff pressure.

LMA design has evolved and clinical use has expanded significantly in recent decades. Evidence suggests that LMA use is safe with mechanical ventilation in appropriately fasted patients while minimizing the inspiratory pressures applied. Second-generation devices may minimize leak and limit gastric insufflation compared to first-generation LMAs.

Two devices are widely used in clinical practice to facilitate positive pressure ventilation: the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (pLMA) and the Classic laryngeal mask airway (cLMA). It is not clear whether these devices have important clinical …

The recently introduced ProSeal (PLMA), a modification of Classic LMA, has a gastric drainage tube placed lateral to main airway tube which allows the regurgitated gastric contents to bypass the glottis and prevents the pulmonary aspiration.

The ProSeal LMA is a major advance over the Classic LMA because of the following reasons: it allows ventilation at much higher airway pressures; it protects the lungs from aspiration and the stomach from gastric insufflation; it facilitates passage of a gastric tube and monitoring devices into the esophagus; it can be inserted like the Classic ...

To analyze and summarize the published literature relating to the ProSeal LMA (PLMA): a modification of the ‘classic LMA’ (cLMA) with an esophageal drain tube (DT), designed to improve controlled ventilation, airway protection and diagnosis of misplacement.

Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) ProSeal is a reusable supraglottic airway device offering gastric access and was introduced into clinical practice in 2000. The LMA ProSeal offers higher glottic sealing pressure than the LMA classic, facilitating positive pressure ventilation. It has a built-in drain tube that allows gastric contents to bypass the ...

A total of 60 patients were randomised into two groups to either receive a Proseal LMA (PLMA) or Supreme LMA (SLMA) for airway management. The primary outcome was to measure oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) in both groups.
