Complete separation of the tube from the mask during removal of a disposable laryngeal mask airway

[La séparation complète du tube du masque pendant le retrait d’un masque laryngé jetable]

Fred J. Spielman, MD

From the Department of Anesthesiology, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.

Address correspondence to: Dr. Fred J. Spielman, UNC Department of Anesthesiology, Campus Box 7010, 223 Burnett-Womack Bldg, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-7010, USA. Phone: 919-966-5136; Fax: 919-966-4873; E-mail: fspielman{at}aims.unc.edu

Objectif : Décrire une complication survenue avec le masque laryngé jetable (ML).

Éléments cliniques : Une femme de 23 ans devait subir l’excision locale d’un large mélanome de la paroi thoracique et une biopsie du ganglion de Troisier sous anesthésie générale. Pendant l’utilisation du ML-UniqueTM jetable, le tube d’intubation s’est complètement séparée de la partie distale du masque. La défaillance de l’appareil d’intubation n’a pas entraîné de séquelles. Le ML a été examiné par LMA North America et la compagnie a déclaré "qu’aucune interprétation définitive ne pouvait expliquer la cause de la séparation du tube d’avec la partie orale."

Conclusion : L’usage du ML n’a été associé qu’à de rares complications de peu d’importance, mais chaque tube devrait faire l’objet d’un examen méticuleux avant l’usage pour vérifier la présence de défectuosités de fabrication ou résultant de la stérilisation.
