IMPLICATIONS: Although the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA^TM) has become a standard tool in the airway resuscitation armamentarium, lack of access to the gastrointestinal tract can limit its utility. A new LMA (LMA-ProSeal^TM) overcomes this limitation. In the current case, reducing gastric distension reversed inadequate oxygenation after failed intubation and face mask ventilation.
