This interesting study demonstrated that, in patients with normal anatomy, blind intubation through the classic LMA is not usually successful.

This article showed that, despite the previous publication, the fibreoptic view through the classic LMA was significantly better than through an endotracheal tube inserted into a reinforced LMA.

This was a good study demonstrating that although the PLMA is slightly more difficult to insert than the classic LMA it may prove useful for ease of gastric tube placement in certain well selected patients.
