The design evolution of the pediatric supraglottic airway device has experienced a long and productive journey. We have a wealth of clinical studies to support progress and advancements in pediatric clinical practice. While all of the supraglottic airway devices have been used successfully in millions of children, it is important to be aware of design advantages and disadvantages of the different models of supraglottic airway devices. Current pediatric supraglottic airway devices may be improved in design to be more ideal. Industry‐changing technological advancements are likely to occur in the near future, which may further improve clinical performance of these devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
