BACKGROUND: Inadvertent puncture of endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff and accidental tracheal extubation are the potential life threatening complications during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT). As an alternative to ETT, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been used sporadically but no large study is available on its use. AIMS: To study the use of LMA during PDT on controlled ventilation in critically sick patients and compare its advantages and disadvantages in relation to ETT. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This prospective, randomised, comparative study was conducted in intensive care unit of a super-speciality, tertiary care hospital. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The bedside PDT was performed in 60 critically ill patients using Ciaglia's kit. The...
