AbstractThe laryngeal mask airway represents a new concept in airway management of anesthetised patients. It is inserted without any instruments and is very easy to use, even for unskilled personnel. It reduces the problem of waste gas pollution in the operating theater, and it leaves the hands of the anaesthetist free for record keeping and monitoring. It is well tolerated by the patients. In this article the technique is presented together with indications and limitations. Based on our experience we find the laryngeal mask airway an excellent alternative to the face mask, even in procedures of short duration.
