What is larengeal maske?

A laryngeal mask is a medical device that is used to keep the airway open during anesthesia or unconsciousness. It is placed in the throat and is designed to sit just above the vocal cords, forming a seal around the larynx. This allows air to flow through the device into the lungs without the need for endotracheal intubation. It is typically used for short-term procedures and is less invasive than intubation. The laryngeal mask is available in various sizes, and it can be used in both adults and children. However, it is not suitable for patients with certain airway conditions or those requiring positive pressure ventilation.
