This document summarizes the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its variants. It describes the design and components of the classic LMA, including sizes for different patient weights. It discusses the anatomy of proper LMA placement and indications for its use, such as elective short surgeries not involving the head or neck and as a rescue airway in difficult airway scenarios. Contraindications, insertion technique, signs of correct placement, and emergence technique are also outlined. Potential advantages of the LMA include less disturbance of cardiovascular and respiratory systems compared to endotracheal intubation and a lower risk of sore throat.
