Success of blind tracheal intubation using the Auragain laryngeal airway compared with the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (lma Fastrach) by novice users: A manikin study

The AuraGain had a significantly lower first attempt success rate at blind tracheal intubation compared with the LMA Fastrach, although there was no significant difference in overall success after 3 attempts. Intubating through the AuraGain was also deemed to be more difficult by novice users than the LMA Fastrach. Further clinical studies are required to evaluate blind intubation through the AuraGain.
