Background: Epiglottic masses are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to detect during preoperative examinations. Consequently, anesthesiologists may face ventilation difficulties with no apparent cause. Epiglottic masses can sometimes obstruct laryngoscope insertion into the epiglottic vallecula, complicating general anesthesia induction.

Introduction: The effectiveness of supraglottic airway devices (SGDs) as a strategy for blind endotracheal intubation (ETI) was compared in this study.
Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials (CTs) involving SGDs for blind ETI in patients under general anesthesia or simulation manikins, was conducted. CTs that used SGDs for fiberoptic-guided ETI and those conducted in children were excluded.

Objective: To investigate the effects of supraglottic airway tools such as classical laryngeal mask (cLMA) and I-gel, which can be used without the need for muscle relaxation in the airway management of general anesthesia patients, on the otolaryngeal system.
Methods: This prospective randomised study was conducted at Karadeniz Technical University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Trabzon, Turkey, during November 2020 to December 2021. Eighty-nine patients in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I-II group, who would undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia, were randomized into two groups, namely Group cLMA and Group I-gel.

Background: Accurate core temperature measurement in children is crucial; however, measuring esophageal temperature (TE) using a supraglottic airway device (SAD) can be challenging. Second-generation SADs, which have a gastric channel, can measure TE, and reduce gastric air volume. This study aimed to compare TE, measured using a probe inserted through the SAD gastric channel, with tympanic membrane (TTM) and forehead (TZHF) temperatures, measured using a zero-heat-flux cutaneous thermometer, with rectal temperature (TR).

Background: Over the last two decades, significant research interest has led to the development of a wide variety of supraglottic airways (SGAs) for anaesthesia providers to choose from.
Methods: In this network meta-analysis, we analysed 111 studies, enrolling 12 045 patients undergoing airway management with 29 SGAs. We targeted outcomes that contribute to clinicians' choice of one SGA over another.
