Cuffed oropharyngeal airway as a suitable alternative to the laryngeal mask airway for minor outpatient surgery

A comparison of the laryngeal tube-S™ and Proseal™ laryngeal mask during outpatient surgical procedures

“…Since the introduction of the original laryngeal mask airway, many other supraglottic airways have been described and numerous published studies have compared these different devices [9][10][11][12]. This study demonstrates that the clinical performance of the LTS and the PLMA are similar with regard to oxygenation and ventilation and that both devices can be effectively and safely used in minor elective surgeries for mechanical ventilation of the patients.…”
