“…[23] Due to the flexible nature of the airway tube, insertion may be more challenging and the use of a stylet or introducer has been suggested as a means to overcome this limitation. [24] Increased occurrence of airway trauma from introducer devices have not been reported despite the concern. [25] Use of a direct laryngoscope to perform direct epiglotoscopy or “mini-DL” has also been reported to avoid insertion problems with the FMLA.…”

Extraglottic airway devices (EAD) have become an integral part of anesthetic care since their introduction into clinical practice 25 years ago and have been used safely hundreds of millions of times, worldwide. They are an important first option for difficult ventilation during both in-hospital and out-of-hospital difficult airway management and can be utilized as a conduit for tracheal intubation either blindly or assisted by another technology (fiberoptic endoscopy, lightwand). Thus, the EAD may be the most versatile single airway technique in the airway management toolbox. However, despite their utility, knowledge regarding specific devices and the supporting data for their use is of paramount importance to patient's safety. In this review, number of commercially available EADs are discussed and the reported benefits and potential pitfalls are highlighted.

gelatin, agar, polyvinyl alcohol, silicone, polyacrylamide, or agarose; organic dopped gells; paramagnetically dopped jells; and reverse micelle solutions. It is used by the radiologists to check the MRI machine). The PLMA was not attracted by the MRI but interfered with the MRI images (Figure).Finally in this case we used a LMA-C, total iv anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. The case was performed without problems.We conclude that the PLMA interferes with head and neck MRI images but that it could be used for other imaging locations since it is not attracted by the magnetic field of the MRI machine.
