Abstract
This study demonstrated that the anatomical position of the four tested single-use EADs is similar with or without mask aperture bars. We therefore question whether MABs have a protective role in prevention of airway occlusion and whether MABs are essential components. In the overall majority of EADs with MABs, the latter did not prevent contact with the epiglottis. Contact and herniation of the laryngeal structures are seen more frequently when more than two MABs are present.
