AbdominalCompartmentSyndrome in the Trauma Patient WhoReceived Kings Airway in the PreHospital Setting

The Kings Laryngeal Tube is a popular prehospital device used in the difficult airway. Since its introduction in 1999, the literature has cited a “first-pass rate” as high as 100% in some studies. Complication rates reported in the literature most cite low morbidity events such as aspiration and mucosal injury. Risk of dislodgement is seldom described in the literature and is likely underreported.
