The Effectiveness of the Gnana Laryngeal Mask Airway II (GLA-II) With Novel Suction Tubing in Gastrointestinal (GI) Cases
The PVC GLA-II device is distinguished by its ability to allow suctioning during placement. With an adequate epiglottic seal, it can be safely and successfully inserted in a short period of time. More research should be conducted to explore the use of GLA-II devices in other settings, such as emergencies and life-saving scenarios.
