The LMA CTrach™, a new laryngeal mask airway for endotracheal intubation under vision: evaluation in 100 patients

The LMA CTrach™ system has potential advantages over the LMA Fastrach™ system, including the ability to align the LMA outlet with the larynx and a high first intubation attempt success rate. However, it was difficult to view the larynx with the LMA CTrach™ compared with direct laryngoscopy, and expectations must be moderated.
