I agree entirely with John Holmes. I have gone on record before as stating
that I would act for the prosecution in any case where soiling of the lower
airway occurred after insertion of a laryngeal mask after trauma. There is
good evidence that the soiling is no worse in the cardiac arrest situation
that using BVM (Baskett and Stone) but none that it is anything but
dangerous in the traumatised patient.

Best wishes,
