Title: LMA for carotid endarterectomy
Post by: Dr. Mian on October 27, 2009, 11:25:12 PM
I have used the proseal LMA (one with gastric drain) for CEA in the past.  I found it allowed a quicker wake up than with ETT, hence earlier evaluation for neurologic deficits.  I stopped after some negative feedback from a surgeon and the rest of my group (I am significantly junior), but I still think it to be a useful technique.

Anyone with similar experience?
