Study Objective: The study objective is to determine whether extraglottic airway devices (EADs) with or without mask aperture bars (MABs) result in similar anatomical positions in patients undergoing surgery.
Design: Prospective, randomized, crossover comparison of four extraglottic airway devices.
Setting: Operating theatre at a large teaching hospital.

We tested the hypothesis that, in patients with clear airways, the anatomical position of three single-use extraglottic airway devices is similar. The airways studied were: the laryngeal mask airway unique (LMA-U), the Softseal laryngeal mask airway (SS-LM) and the Cobra perilaryngeal airway (Cobra-PLA). Three hundred spontaneously breathing patients were randomly allocated to have their airway managed using one of these three supraglottic airway devices.

The COBRA perilaryngeal airway (PLA) is a new supraglottic airway device available for use in children. We studied the orientation of the larynx as viewed through the PLA using video obtained with a fiberoptic bronchoscope in 45 infants and children. Laryngeal view was scored, and position of the grill bars of the PLA and the epiglottis was assessed.
