Unlabelled: The primary function of the drain tube of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) is to prevent aspiration of regurgitated stomach contents. We report a case of gastric aspiration with the PLMA during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 64-yr-old healthy man secondary to an unidentified foldover malposition. It is imperative that the position and patency of the drain tube be verified in all patients with the PLMA.
Implications: We report a case of gastric aspiration with the ProSeal laryngeal mask during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy secondary to an unidentified foldover malposition. It is imperative that the position and patency of the drain tube be verified in all patients with the ProSeal laryngeal mask.

Conventional anesthetic management of juvenile dermatomyositis involves general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation using non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. Neuromuscular monitoring would be required for the titration of neuromuscular blocking drugs as these patients are more sensitive to these drugs, which leads to delayed recovery. Here we present a 14-year-old girl with juvenile dermatomyositis posted for laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the Air-Q Self Pressurized Airway Device with Blocker (SP Blocker) to the Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) for positive pressure ventilation in adult female patients undergoing elective surgeries.
- Significant results showed that the SP Blocker had better performance on key metrics like oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), lower peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), and improved tidal volumes compared to the PLMA.
- Additionally, the SP Blocker allowed for faster insertion times, indicating it may be a more effective option for airway management during surgeries.

Background And Aims: Postoperative sore throat (POST) can be as high as 42% in supraglottic devices. LMA® Protector™ is a novel second-generation laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with Cuff Pilot™ technology that allows continuous cuff pressure monitoring. Elevated cuff pressure is a risk factor for POST in supraglottic devices, so we conducted this study to determine whether continuous cuff pressure monitoring can alleviate POST.
