LMA ® ProtectorTM Airway. First experience with a new second generation laryngeal mask.

CONCLUSIONS: The LMA-Protector provides a high pharyngeal seal. Uncommon for laryngeal masks its pharyngeal seal is not affected by the extension of the patient ́s neck. As a second generation supraglottic airway which is also suitable for simplified fiberscopic guided tracheal intubation, the LMA-Protector could be considered as a supraglottic airway of the third generation.
