A Comparison of the Reinforced and Standard Laryngeal Mask Airway: Ease of Insertion and the Influence of Head and Neck Position on Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure and Intracuff Pressure [PDF]
We conducted a randomized, crossover study of 60 paralysed anaesthetized adult patients to compare ease of insertion for the reinforced (RLMA) and standard laryngeal mask airway (LMA). We also test the hypothesis that oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) and intracuff pressure (ICP) vary with head and neck position for the two devices.
