Resuscitation. 1999 Apr-May;40(3):187-9. doi: 10.1016/s0300-9572(99)00019-2.

Abstract

This case illustrates that a new prototype laryngeal mask with high seal pressures can be placed in the awake patient with minimal cardiorespiratory changes and that it facilitates passage of a nasogastric tube.
