A Multicenter Study Comparing the ProSeal TMand Classic TMLaryngeal Mask Airway in Anesthetized, Nonparalyzed Patients

Abstract

In anesthetized, nonparalyzed patients, the LMA is easier and quicker to insert, but the PLMA forms a better seal and facilitates easier and quicker orogastric tube placement. The incidence of total intraoperative complications and postoperative sore throat are similar.
