Using the Natural Recoil of the Inflating Syringe as a Safety Valve to Limit LMA Cuff Pressure and Decrease LMA-Induced Complications
The purpose of this study is to determine if using 20 mL B.Braun syringes to inflate LMAs
and allowing them to recoil will put the pressure of the LMA cuff within the safety range.
It will also determine if remaining within this safety range has an effect on complications
after surgery..
