Abstract

Supraglottic airways have been utilized as an alternative to facemask ventilation and endotracheal intubation and thus have been essential to airway management since their introduction in the late 1980s. This chapter describes basic considerations in their use and an update on current clinical practice, with an emphasis on safe management. The devices have evolved to meet today's clinical airway challenges, and they provide benefits for patients and practitioners.
