Respiratory depression from sedative drugs and airway obstruction requiring intervention are
known risks associated with endoscopic procedures, with studies demonstrating that hypoxemia
can
occur in 11–50% of cases.1-3 The LMA® Gastro™ Airway with Cuff
Pilot™
Technology from Teleflex is the only laryngeal mask specifically designed to give clinicians
control of their patients’ airways while facilitating direct endoscopic access via the
integrated endoscope channel. With the airway in place, clinicians can monitor end tidal
CO2 for patient safety. The LMA® Gastro™ Airway is indicated for airway
management in adult patients undergoing endoscopic procedures.
