【 摘 要 】

The anaesthetist has seen his role steadily expand and it is hard to think of one medical specialty in which anaesthetists are not involved at least to some extent. We present a range of papers which demonstrates the breadth of anaesthesia: from its traditional realm in the operating theatre to critical care and resuscitation onto chronic pain and obstetric analgesia. Laryngeal Tube TM. 4 Malposition may result in significant leakages from around the cuff or from the drain tube. Even worse, it may occlude the vocal cords, and result in improper ventilation. Nevertheless the ProSealTM is having an impact: it is has been used with success in caesarean deliveries when intubation was difficult or impossible 5 , and in laparascopic surgery as an alternative to tracheal intubation, which for years has been the recommended standard.6 The ProSealTM is not a panacea, but it is a useful addition to the armamentarium necessary to obtain a secure airway.
