The laryngeal tube is designed for blind placement in the esophagus, with a single
port that inflates a dual cuff (one above and one below the opening for airflow)
which secures the device in the hypopharynx and directs airflow anteriorly into
the glottis. Laryngeal tubes are now made in sizes down to size 0, designed for
use in infants less than 5 kg. Laryngeal tubes are increasing being used in the
prehospital setting, therefore PEM clinicians should be familiar with their use,
even if they are placed infrequently in emergency medicine.
Perilaryngeal Airway
The perilaryngeal airway is a device with an inflatable cuff proximal to a widened
distal end, designed to sit posterior to the larynx. Randomized trials in
anesthetized patients (including children) have demonstrated comparable speed
and ease of placement when compared with LMAs. Perilaryngeal airways are also
suitable for bronchoscopy and intubation through the distal end when correctly
placed.
