Glottic insertion of the ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) has received little attention in the anesthesiology literature. We investigated the incidence and depth of insertion associated with this important cause for a failed insertion attempt with the PLMA. ⋯ Glottic insertion can be easily and quickly diagnosed and our results suggest the incidence and importance of malposition are under-reported in the literature.
