    AbstractGastrointestinal endoscopies are often done in the prone position and anesthesiologists are needed to provide sedation. Airway access is limited in the prone position and may make timely airway management difficult in case of airway obstruction during sedation. Specialized laryngeal mask airway devices customized for endoscopy procedures like LMA® Gastro™ can be inserted in the prone position and may help anesthesiologists tide over such crisis situations while simultaneously allowing the endoscopy procedures through the dedicated conduit available for inserting the endoscopes. We have described one such case managed successfully by inserting LMA® Gastro™ in the prone position.© 2022. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
