Abstract
We report the use of the laryngeal mask airway to facilitate the insertion of a percutaneous tracheostomy (Ciaglia kit) in two patients. This method has not been reported previously. We believe that in selected patients the technique described increases the ease of placement of a percutaneous tracheostomy.
