Clinical Guide: Fast Track intubation with laryngeal mask

The concept of the intubating laryngeal mask (Fast Track)

The Fast Track laryngeal mask (ILMA) is specifically designed to act as a guide for tracheal intubation, allowing continuous ventilation while facilitating the passage of an endotracheal tube blindly or under fiberoptic guidance.

Indications and difficult airway algorithm

Fast Track intubation is a crucial rescue technique in the ASA difficult airway algorithm. It is particularly indicated in 'cannot ventilate, difficult to intubate' situations or following failed intubation with direct laryngoscopy.

• Rapid securing of the airway in emergencies.
• Maintenance of oxygenation during intubation attempts.
• Effective alternative in cases of difficult anatomy (short neck, obesity).

Equipment and consumables for your operating room

To ensure patient safety, it is essential to stock the appropriate sizes of Fast Track laryngeal masks and compatible endotracheal tubes. Moroccan facilities can request B2B quotes (Morocco Prices) to supply their resuscitation departments.
