Chanced upon this recent article from SFGate.
Interesting to note the below replicated - "Laryngeal Mask Airways (LMA) are gradually replacing endotracheal tubes (ETT) in surgical procedures since they are easier to use and are less invasive. Key benefits of LMA include easier insertion of the tube into the trachea, fewer airway complications, and lesser requirement of anesthetic agent. Additionally, LMAs are available in both single-use and reusable designs and offer fewer side-affects in comparison to endotracheal tubes."
Any professionals in the medical field who can attest to the above?
