IMPLICATIONS: Although the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMATM) 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-ProSealTM) overcomes this limitation. In the current case, reducing gastric distension reversed inadequate oxygenation after failed intubation and face mask ventilation.
