title: [Laryngeal mask: a new concept in maintenance of patency of the respiratory tract].
abstract: A laryngeal mask is, no doubt, a useful and indispensible device for the majority of adults and children subjected to surgery. Its application is simple and atraumatic, involving the minimal hemodynamic and somatic reactions. A laryngeal mask is a good alternative to facial mask and endotracheal intubation in a great number of clinical situations. Moreover, it provides blind and fibreoptic technique of intubation, though its role in emergency situations is still to be found out. Despite the evident necessity of further investigation, laryngeal masks can be safely used in clinical practice now.
