Hey everybody,
sorry in advance, if i might bore someone here with this thread (i don´t know, if the topic laryngela tube was handeld sometimes before).
Can you tell me something about the use and the indication for the laryngeal tube in the US EMS?
The laryngeal tube is inserted blind and usually has its location in the oesophagus. It doesn´t matter, because the tube got two cuffs. One cuff secures the pharynx and one the oesophagus. Between there is a possibility to allow air going in the trachea. In a lot of german medical services this device is used as first measurement to secure the airway and to ventilate the patient. This means (for example case of cpr) we dont bag our patients (with all its riscs) and therefore place the lt directly. Allthough a lot of our first responders who are sometimes alone with a patient for several time use this device to perform cpr.
What do you think about this device and does anyone use this device?
