Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA), SUPREME 10’s

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is an acceptable alternative to mask anesthesia in the operating room. It is often used for short procedures when endotracheal intubation is not necessary.

The LMA has many advantages over the ETT, such as having no direct contact with the tracheal mucosa, no need for direct laryngoscopy during inserting, and less adverse events such as lower frequency of coughing and decreased oxygen saturation during emergence, and lower incidence of sore throat in adults
