PURPOSE: The laryngeal tube airway (LTA) is a new extraglottic airway device with a large proximal cuff that inflates in the laryngopharynx and a distal conical cuff that inflates in the hypopharynx. We determine the influence of the cuff volume and anatomic location on pharyngeal mucosal pressures for the LTA.
METHODS: Fifteen fresh cadavers were studied. Microchip sensors were attached to the (anatomic location) anterior, lateral and posterior surface of the distal cuff (hypopharynx) and proximal cuff (laryngopharynx) of the size 4 LTA. Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) and mucosal pressures were measured at 0-140 mL cuff volume in 20-mL increments. In addition, mucosal pressures for the proximal cuff were measured in three awake, topicalized volunteers.
RESULTS: OLP and mucosal pressure at all locations increased with cuff volume (all: P < 0.01). Mucosal pressures were highest posteriorly. Mucosal pressures only exceeded 35 cm H(2)O (pharyngeal mucosal perfusion pressure) in the anterior and posterior laryngopharynx and when the cuff volume was > 80-100 mL. Mucosal pressures were similar for cadavers and awake volunteers.
CONCLUSION: Mucosal pressures for the LTA increase with cuff volume, are highest posteriorly and potentially exceed mucosal perfusion pressure when cuff volume exceeds 80-100 mL.
