| laryngeal masks | A type of oropharyngeal airway that provides an alternative to endotracheal intubation and standard mask anaesthesia in certain patients. It is introduced into the hypopharynx to form a seal around the larynx thus permitting spontaneous or positive pressure ventilation without penetration of the larynx or oesophagus. It is used in place of a facemask in routine anaesthesia. The advantages over standard mask anaesthesia are better airway control, minimal anaesthetic gas leakage, a secure airway during patient transport to the recovery area, and minimal postoperative problems.
