Abstract

AbstractThe laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is recognized as a safe alternative to endotracheal intubation for short‐term airway maintenance. In this case report we present the case of a term neonate with upper airway obstruction which was managed with a deflated LMA for 7 consecutive days. Despite previous reports of extended LMA use in neonates without complications, this patient experienced significant pharyngeal mucosal injury and edema, leading to difficulty with subsequent intubation attempts.
