Airway management and morbid obesity.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:The laryngeal mask has become a widely accepted alternative to endotracheal intubation and mask ventilation. The laryngeal tube is a relatively new supraglottic airway device for airway management. We compared the new version of the laryngeal tube with the laryngeal mask. METHODS:In a randomiz...
