1 Case Report Brunei Int Med J. 2012; 8 (4): Laryngeal mask airway (LMA-ProSeal) malfunction causing acute airway obstruction Binu Puthur SIMON and Syed Harun HABIBULLAH Department of Anaesthesiology, RIPAS Hospital, Brunei Darussalam ABSTRACT The Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSeal TM (LMA-ProSeal TM ; Laryngeal Mask Company Limited) is a reusable supraglottic airway device developed to enhance supraglottic airway protection and extend the benefits of the classic LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) to greater number of patients. Added features include an additional drain tube to channel fluid away from the airway and a tighter seal against the glottic opening with no increase in mucosal pressure. Clinicians have extended the use of the LMA-ProSeal TM inside and outside the operating theatre including use for difficult airway management and airway rescue. However, even these new devices have their limitations. We report an unforeseen acute airway obstruction caused by LMA-ProSeal TM malfunction during ophthalmic surgery. The cuff of the device was deformed with herniation to one side upon insufflation of the balloon. Keywords: Laryngeal mask airway, malfunction, complications, LMA-ProSeal INTRODUCTION Laryngeal masks are used broadly for elective and emergency airway management and are an essential part of the American and European difficult airway management algorithm. 1-3 Due to their wide use, noticeable complications and side effects have been reported over the last years. The rare reports of airway obstruction directly triggered by the laryngeal mask are swelling of the pharyngeal soft tissues caused by the leakage of irrigation fluid, 4 herniation of the laryngeal mask airway cuff, 5-7 foreign bodies (Ascaris lumbricoides), Correspondence author: Binu Puthur SIMON, Department Of Anaesthesiology RIPAS Hospital, Bandar Seri Begawan BA 1710 Brunei Darussalam E mail: binupsimon@yahoo.com 8 and intermittent obstruction related to a vagal nerve stimulator. 9 We report the case where an unanticipated airway problem arose due to a defect in a reusable Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSeal TM (LMA-ProSeal TM ) when it was used for an ophthalmic procedure. Upon careful investigation post procedure, the inflatable part of the device had weakened and ballooned out causing deformation of the mask resulting in loss of proper fit and seal. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old man with a body mass index of 38.9 kg/m 2 was scheduled for Trans Pars Plana Vitrectomy and intra-ocular lens insertion of the left eye under general anaesthesia. His

The patient was pre-oxygenated with 100% oxygen for three minutes and general anaesthesia was induced with 200mgs of propofol and 75mcgs of fentanyl. Anaesthesia was maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide and isoflurane. Mask ventilation was fairly easy and intravenous atracurium (40mg) was given for relaxation. A size 4 cuff LMA- ProSeal TM laryngeal mask airway was successfully placed after checking of the cuff with 30ml air insufflation. The cuff was inflated with 20ml of air. The patient was ventilated with pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) mode with following parameters; inspiratory pressure of 15cm H 2 O, respiratory rate of 12 per minute and an inspiratory: expiratory (I:E) ratio of 1:1. An I:E ratio of 1:1 was preferred to achieve a higher tidal volume at a lower pre-set inspiratory pressure (normal ratio is 1:2). The patient could generate around 550mls of tidal volume with the above settings. As a precautionary measure, a size 12 nasogastric tube was introduced through the drain tube of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). His end tidal CO 2 was 35-40mm of Hg (Normal range 35 to 45mm of Hg). Thirty minutes into the surgery a gradual decrease in tidal volume (350ml) and a rise in the end tidal CO 2 were noted. An additional dose of atracurium (40mg) and fentanyl (75mcgs) were given on the assumption that the effect of the initial dose was wearing off, but there was no improvement. Then the ventilator mode was changed to volume control with the following setting; tidal volume of 500ml and respiratory rate of 12/minute. After this adjustment, the peak airway pressure went up to 29-30cm of H 2 O and the mean airway pressure was around 17cm of H 2 O. The end tidal CO 2 was maintained at 48 to 50mm of Hg. We managed to continue with this strategy for another 40 minutes. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes before completion of surgery, breathing attempts by the patient were noted and we attempted to manage the patient on spontaneous ventilation mode with manual assistance. It was noticed that at this point there was hardly any end tidal CO 2 trace and the reservoir bag did not show any movement. The patient seemed to be experiencing acute airway obstruction during spontaneous attempts of breathing. The patient was paralysed with a 10mg dose of atracurium. Volume control mode was reinstated with the same settings as before. The patient was then satisfactorily ventilated until the surgical procedure was completed. An intravenous dose of neostigmine and atropine were then administered to reverse the residual effect of the muscle relaxants. When breathing attempts commenced, the patient appeared to be further exhibit airway obstruction. At this point the LMA- ProSeal TM was removed and a Guedel airway (size 4) was inserted. The patient was ventilated with a face mask until a good respiratory effort was observed. Further recovery was uneventful. The LMA-ProSeal TM was later examined and it was noted that the cuff was deformed with herniation to one side (Figure 1). A faulty LMA with herniation after insufflations, together with formation of a fold on the cuff was suspected as the cause of the airway problem we had encountered in this case.

Additionally, LMA ProSeal has proven to have better seal at higher ventilating pressures. 12 In conclusion, when a ventilation problem is encountered with a reusable LMA, particularly if this had experienced repeated sterilisation, a herniated cuff should be considered, even if initial testing was inconspicuous. 7 Removal of the malfunctioning LMA and inspection of the cuff should be considered to rule out this potentially deleterious technical problem. There have been case reports of herniation of the classic reusable type LMA, possibly as a result of overuse, over inflation or repeated sterilisation. 13 Repeated uses of LMA airways beyond 40 uses increases the probability of device malfunctions. 15 In this particular case we were unable to determine how often the LMA-ProSeal TM had been subjected to repeated use. As a standard practice we utilise a cuff volume of ml for LMA- ProSeal TM size 3 in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and, our sterilisation complies with manufacturer instructions. Since the head was draped and covered for our case, we did not have access to the airway such that, in the worst case scenario of total airway obstruction we would have been left with no choice but to stop the surgery and replace the faulty LMA with an oral endotracheal tube. Cuff herniation of the LMA-Classic may not be apparent if the cuff is inflated with volume less than the recommended maximal volume (e.g., 30 ml for size 4) and may only become apparent when inflated with a volume of air 50% greater (45 ml). 15 This practice is now recommended by the manufacturer. We recommend this practice to be AKNOWLEDGEMENT: We would like to acknowledge our colleagues, Dr Salil G NAIR, Dr Anand H KULKARNI and Dr Hj Zulaidi HJ ABDUL LATIF for their help with the management of this patient.
