The LMA has a proven
track record in airway management in hospital use, its use is now
emerging into the pre hospital scene and is proving invaluable in
managing the airway of a casualty in various settings including when
used by a solo responder, a trapped casualty in a confined space
or motor vehicle and the rapid management of the airway prior to
extrication from a hostile area. The practical course shows how to
position and secure the airway and is included within our trauma
courses.
