Absolutely! I had LMA in number 6, but an ILMA would be even better if you have them.

(saved me the last time i saw a mouth full of blood despite 2 yankauers) I would add that this is a time that you want to have a blind technique ready like the Intubating LMA… although a bougie is technically a blind technique ILMA, would be better… (saved me the last time i saw a mouth full of blood despite 2 yankauers)

As I watched an oropharynx fill with coffee grounds a couple months ago, I was reminded of that really large bore perforated suction catheter on display at an ACEP SA past. Couldn't find it just now, after doing a quick search online, but a larger bore catheter and tubing would go along well with the meconium aspirator.

So abort your laryngoscopy attempts <b>earlier</b> so you're more likely to bag slowly, gently, and, even better - through an LMA. great summary scott. additional thought: although you want to not bag, if you must bag, you want to minimize the amount of air transmitted to the stomach.
