Directly measured mucosal pressures produced by the i-gel™ and laryngeal mask airway Supreme™ in paralysed anaesthetised patients

The i-gel™ and LMA Supreme™ are extraglottic airway devices with non-inflatable and inflatable cuffs, respectively. We hypothesised that directly measured mucosal pressures would differ between these devices in anesthetised paralysed patients. Thirty patients were randomly allocated to receive one o...
