Laryngeal mask airway size selection in males and females: ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, pharyngeal mucosal pressures and anatomical position [PDF]
We have compared ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, directly measured pharyngeal mucosal pressure and anatomical position (assessed fibreoptically) for the size 4 and size 5 laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in 20 male and 20 female patients. Microchip pressure sensors were attached to the LMA at locations corresponding to the piriform fossa ...

A Comparison of the Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure between the Reusable Classic™ Laryngeal Mask Airway and the Single-use Soft Seal™ Laryngeal Mask Airway [PDF]
We tested the oropharyngeal leak pressure with the reusable laryngeal mask airway and the single-use Soft Seal™ laryngeal mask airway. These two types of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) have a similar design but the reusable LMA cuff is made from silicone whereas the Soft Seal LMA cuff is Polyvinylchloride. Thirty-five healthy subjects
