Abstract: Pediatric anesthesiologists are using laryngeal masks in both routine and challenging/unconventional situations. Although many of the uses for laryngeal masks are not explicitly stated in the manufacturer guidelines, literature and current practice support the use of laryngeal masks in several of these scenarios.

“…The higher oropharyngeal leak pressure is clinically relevant especially when positive pressure ventilation is used during surgery. A recent investigation for practice patterns of using supraglottic airway devices reported that 53% of anaesthesiologists used pressure support ventilation, while 25% of anaesthesiologists administered neuromuscular blocking agents . We suggest that the i‐gel, LMA‐Proseal and Cobra perilaryngeal airway are advantageous in these situations.…”

“…Surveys have been conducted by the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) and Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI). [ 5 9 ] However, there is a dearth of comprehensive large-scale pan-Indian data. [ 10 ] AAGBI survey focussed mainly on the choice of SGADs and their use in difficult airway.…”

“…This is in contrast to the SPA survey where pressure support ventilation was used by a large number of respondents. [ 9 ] Lack of sophisticated anaesthesia ventilators, knowledge and experience in using advanced modes could explain this difference. Advanced modes improve ventilation parameters, thereby enabling anaesthesiologists to use SGADs for prolonged duration.…”

“…After induction, an orogastric tube should be placed to decompress the stomach and the gut allowing minimizing stomach injury and increasing intraabdominal visibility. In relation to airway management for pediatric laparoscopy, endotracheal intubation is often preferred rather than a supraglottic airway (SGA): it provides optimal control of ventilation for elimination of CO 2 and protection against aspiration (23). Standard practice in pediatric anesthesia includes the use of an uncuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) if the child is younger than 8 years old: this can make it difficult to maintain minute ventilation during the laparoscopy.…”
