Laryngeal Tube insertion steps
 |
Step 1:
Check that both cuffs are completely deflated and that the LTS II has been lubricated with watersoluble lubricant.
The recommended technique is to hold the LTS II like a pen in the area of the teeth marks. With the free hand, hold the mouth open and make sure that the tongue is not folded back during the downward movement of the LTS II. Never use force!
Place the flat edge of the LTS II tip
against the hard palate of the patient and slide it along the palate in the midline of the mouth down into the hypopharynx until the thick black line is level with the upper teeth. In case of insertion problems a lateral insertion might be useful.
