title: Prevention of aspiration under general anesthesia by use of the size 2 1/2 ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in a 6-year-old boy: a case report.
abstract: We report a case where use of the size 2 1/2 ProSeal laryngeal mask airway helped to prevent pulmonary aspiration of regurgitated gastric fluid. We describe the management of this case and discuss the potential advantages of this modified laryngeal mask airway for supraglottic airway management in pediatric patients.
