The airways studied were: the laryngeal mask airway unique (LMA\u2010U\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), the Softseal laryngeal mask airway (SS\u2010LM\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and the Cobra perilaryngeal airway (Cobra\u2010PLA\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    ). Three hundred spontaneously breathing patients were randomly allocated to have their airway managed using one of these three supraglottic airway devices. A rigid endoscope was passed down the airway tube and the following anatomical assessments were made: position of the epiglottis; position of the glottis; and position of the cuff. The epiglottis was more frequently visible with the LMA\u2010U than with the SS\u2010LM (76\n                    <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                    57%, p\u2003=\u20030.006) and with the LMA\u2010U than with the Cobra\u2010PLA (76\n                    <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                    46%, p\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001). The epiglottis was in contact with the mask aperture bars in 25% of patients, and in 34% of these, the epiglottis was seen to be herniated through the aperture bars. Herniation of the epiglottis through the mask aperture bars occurred more frequently with the Cobra\u2010PLA than the LMA\u2010U (8\n                    <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                    3%, p\u2003=\u20030.008). The vocal cords and arytenoids were more frequently visible with the LMA\u2010U and SS\u2010LM than with the Cobra\u2010PLA (both p\u2003&lt;\u20030.006). Herniation of the arytenoids through the mask aperture bars was more frequently seen with the Cobra\u2010PLA than with the LMA\u2010U (8\n                    <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                    0%, p\u2003=\u20030.004). The position of the cuff was optimal for the LMA\u2010U and SS\u2010LM in 90% and 93% of patients, respectively. The cuff was more frequently in the midline with the LMA\u2010U than with the SS\u2010LM (p\u2003\n                    <jats:italic>=<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u20030.002). We conclude that the anatomical position of the LMA\u2010U and SS\u2010LMA is superior to that of the Cobra\u2010PLA in patients with clear airways. The mask aperture bars probably have no anatomical utility and predispose to herniation of the pharyngeal structures.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2006.04745.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,27]],"date-time":"2006-07-27T04:06:23Z","timestamp":1153973183000},"page":"891-895","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["The anatomical position of three extraglottic airway devices in patients with clear airways"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Van Zundert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Brimacombe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Kamphuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Haanschoten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/01.ANE.0000080154.76349.5B"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200511000-00033"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","first-page":"73","volume-title":"Laryngeal Mask Anesthesia.
