    AbstractA nasogastric tube was used to aspirate air insufflated into the stomach during intermittent positive pressure ventilation through a laryngeal mask airway and a tracheal tube. No difference was found in the amount aspirated between patients with a tracheal tube, a laryngeal mask airway with the nasogastric tube closed or a laryngeal mask airway with the nasogastric tube open, when the nasogastric tube was aspirated at 15 min intervals for the first hour of anaesthesia.
