Abstract

Objective: The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) and I-gel, both second-generation supraglottic airway devices have been compared in previous studies but with inconsistent results regarding their safety and efficacy. Their influence on the hypopharyngeal mucosa have not been evaluated before under videolaryngoscopy.
