KUMAR, Vijay e RAINA, Raman. Airway rescue in the prone position with laryngeal mask airway in a case of lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing percutaneous posterior decompression using an inter-spinous spacer device. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2013, vol.41, n.2, pp.158-160. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rca.2012.12.003.
A patient suffering from low backache was electively posted under local anaesthesia by the surgeon for insertion of percutaneous inter-spinous spacer in lumbar spine in prone position. In the middle of surgery, the patient developed severe pain and was unable to keep still requiring general anaesthesia to complete the operation. We successfully inserted classic laryngeal mask airway in the prone position and the operation was completed uneventfully.
