Abstract
BACKGROUND: The laryngeal tube (LT ; Smiths Medical, Minnesota, U. S. A) is an inflatable supraglottic device for emergency airway management such as during chest compression, the instability after insertion remains a problem.
METHODS: We investigated the effectiveness of three fixation methods of LT using a manikin and automated chest compressor.
RESULTS: After 10-minute chest compression, LT without fixation was shifted by 0.4 ± 0.1 cm, which was greater than with Durapore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), Multipore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), or a neck tape (0.1 ± 0.1 cm). The shift of the position was smaller with neck tape fixation compared to Durapore or Multipore tape fixation.
CONCLUSIONS: A fixation neck tape may be useful in stabilizing the inserted position of LT during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
