BACKGROUND: The summary of various studies done looking at size selection of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in adults is that, selection based on sex is appropriate, and that both sizes 4 or 5 are adequate for adult females. However, in our local population these sizes may be too large especially the size 5 for adult females. OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal size of LMA in Malaysian female adults. METHOD: 135 ASA 1 or 2 adult female patients coming for elective surgery, requiring general anaesthesia suitable for LMA insertion were randomised into 3 groups to receive either a size 3, 4 or 5 LMA. Optimal size of the LMA was assessed based on 4 parameters, the number of attempts at placement, the oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), fibre optic score and the percentage of the vocal cords seen. RESULTS: The 3 groups were demographically similar. There was no difference in the 3 groups in terms of number of attempts of placement, OLP and fibre-optic score. The percentage of vocal cords seen with the size 3 LMA was significantly less than for the size 4 and size 5 (p = 0.009). For the size 5 LMA group in 10/45 patients, the size 5 LMA was too big making it incorrectly positioned after successful insertion and in another 3/45 patients it was difficult to pass the size 5 LMA past the open mouth during insertion. There were no such problems with the size 3 or 4 LMA groups. CONCLUSION: The optimal size of LMA for the female Malaysian adult is size 4.

BACKGROUND: The sniffing position is recommended for conventional laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. However, there has been a high success rate of LMA insertion with the head in the neutral position. The effect of a difficult airway on the ease of LMA insertion is not clear. In this study, we compared the ease of LMA ProSeal(TM) (PLMA) insertion and the fiberoptic scoring according to the head position and the presence of a difficult airway. METHODS: After obtaining informed consent from the subjects, we enrolled 144 adult patients (age range: 18-65) with an ASA physical status 1 or 2. After evaluation of the airway, all the patients were grouped into the EA (easy airway) group (n = 68) and the DA (difficult airway) group (n = 76). According to the head position, each group was divided into the EA-SE (extension) group (n = 35), the EA-SN (sniffing) group (n = 33), the DA-SE group (n = 39) and the DA-SN group (n = 37). The success rate and insertion time at the first attempt were evaluated. The position of the PLMA was fiberoptically scored from the mask aperture of the airway tube in the original head position. After the head position was changed to the sniffing and neutral positions in the SE and SN group, respectively, the position of PLMA was re-evaluated fiberoptically. RESULTS: The success rate and insertion time at the first attempt and the fiberoptic score showed no significant difference among the groups. After head position was changed, there were no significant changes in the fiberopitc scores. CONCLUSIONS: A difficult airway and the head position had no influence on the ease of PLMA insertion and the fiberopic score. Therefore, the head position can be selected according to the individual patient's situation.
