Emergency insertion of the LMA protector airway in patients in the lateral position

The LMAR Protector™ Airway (Teleflex Medical Japan, Tokyo, Protector), a new type of second generation airway, has an integrated cuff pressure indicator that allows continuous cuff pressure monitoring at a glance [1,2]. Continuous cuff pressure monitoring contributes to safe management in the perioperative period in all situations. Here, we report two cases in which the Protector was inserted in an emergency situation with the patient in the lateral position.
