Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison of the Laryngeal Tube Suction and the Proseal laryngeal Mask Airway in anesthetized patients].
The Laryngeal Tube Suction (LTS : Smith Medical, Tokyo) is a new laryngeal tube that has an additional channel for gastric tube placement. Similarly, the Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) also has a drain tube for gastric tube placement. This study compared the functions of these two devices. ⋯ With respect to clinical function, the LTS and PLMA were similar and either device can be used to establish an effective airway in anesthetized patients.
