Abstract
Implications:
An inexpensive, single-use alternative device to the laryngeal mask and cuffed oropharyngeal airway appears useful in controlled and spontaneous ventilation. The hollow soft plastic airway may act as a sump for pooled secretions, possibly minimizing regurgitation risks. Without a cuff, important cost savings are likely.
