FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PLACEMENT FAILURE OF SECOND-GENERATION LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY: A RETROSPECTIVE CLINICAL STUDY
Objective: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is important for airway management during anesthesia practice. Rarely, when it cannot be placed, it requires alternative interventions. In this study, we aimed to identify factors associated with second-generation LMA placement failure. Methods: Between 2021 and 2023, medical records of consecutive patients who underwent ureteroscopy for urolithiasis under general anesthesia were retrospectively reviewed.
