CobraPLACobraPLA
•CobraPLA™ is an advancement in superlaryngeal airway management. •The CobraPLA (Perilaryngeal Airway) is designed to be positioned in the hypopharynx where it abuts the structure of the laryngeal inlet.
•Easy insertion for improved placement with less trauma. •Airtight seal improves positive pressure ventilation. •Eight sizes provide a complete adult and paediatric range.

SUMMARYSUMMARY
• assessment of the airway, recognising the problem and prompt action to maintain and secure the airway is the first priority in resuscitation
• be prepared for a difficult intubation
