title: [Laryngeal Tube Position Shift after Chest Compression: Comparison of Fixation Methods Using Durapore Tape, Multipore Tape, or a Neck Tape].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The laryngeal tube (LT ; Smiths Medical, Minnesota, U. S. A) is an inflatable supraglottic device for emergency airway management such as during chest compression, the instability after insertion remains a problem.
  
  
  METHODS
  We investigated the effectiveness of three fixation methods of LT using a manikin and automated chest compressor.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After 10-minute chest compression, LT without fixation was shifted by 0.4 ± 0.1 cm, which was greater than with Durapore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), Multipore tape (0.2 ± 0.1 cm), or a neck tape (0.1 ± 0.1 cm). The shift of the position was smaller with neck tape fixation compared to Durapore or Multipore tape fixation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A fixation neck tape may be useful in stabilizing the inserted position of LT during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
