Laryngeal mask airway protector?: Advanced uses for laparoscopic cholecystectomies

摘要

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Protector? is a second-generation perilaryngeal sealer type supraglottic airway device recently introduced into clinical practice. We describe our initial experiences with the use of the LMA Protector? in three patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies. In all patients, we found the LMA Protector? to have acceptable placements on the first attempt, adequate oropharyngeal leak pressures and ventilation adequacy.
