PY - 2013 T2 - Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs, 7e AB - The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) consists of a soft elliptical mask with an inflatable cuff that is attached to a flexible airway tube. The mask covers the laryngeal opening with an inflatable cuff that occludes the esophagus. It can provide positive pressure ventilation. To quote the 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics/American Heart Association Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, when you “can't ventilate and can't intubate,” the device may provide a successful rescue airway.
