【 摘 要 】

Patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) have excessive adipose tissue in oropharynx which can obstruct theairway. A high prevalence of difficult intubation has been reported in these patients and an association betweenthe severity of SAS and difficult intubation has been suggested. LMA Proseal® (LMA Company, USA) has beenlaunched as a better alternative to LMA classic, as it provides good airway seal due to its modified cuff. Theimproved seal of LMA Proseal® (PLMA®) has an advantage in obese patients where higher airway pressures arerequired for positive pressure ventilation. We found that LMA Classic® provided better airway management thanPLMA® in one of our obese patients with SAS.
