| *Can use without muscle relaxants
| |
| *Better than face mask
| |
| *Can be used as bridge to fiberoptic intubation
| |
| *Limited by unreliable seal at peak insp pressure
| |
| *Aspiration risk
| |
| *Mucosal trauma
| |
| *LMA better than endotracheal for paramedics, especially in pediatric patients<ref>Zhu X-Y, Lin B-C, Zhang Q-S, Ye H-M, Yu R-J.
