  • Title: Difficult airway management after carotid endarterectomy: utility and limitations of the Laryngeal Mask Airway.
    Author: Augoustides JG, Groff BE, Mann DG, Johansson JS.
    Journal: J Clin Anesth; 2007 May; 19(3):218-21. PubMed ID: 17531732.
    Abstract:
    This case series details successful management of life-threatening airway obstruction after carotid endarterectomy. In the first case, ventilation was restored with a Laryngeal Mask Airway. In the second case, laryngeal mask airway rescue was unsuccessful, necessitating percutaneous transtracheal jet ventilation and subsequent endotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy.
