Abstract

Introduction: Anaesthesiologists support the ventilation and oxygenation after the induction of anaesthesia. Traditional methods of ventilation is by the face mask and the tracheal tube. During the last decade, several supraglottic airway devices have been introduced in clinical practice. Supraglottic glottic airway devices have become a standard fixture in airway management, filling the gap between the face mask and the tracheal tube, in terms of both anatomical position and the degree of invasiveness. These devices are positioned outside the trachea but provide hands-free means of achieving gas tight airway.
