## Summary Sixtyโone patients received a standardised anaesthetic and were randomly assigned to three groups: tracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy, tracheal intubation via an intubating laryngeal mask airway with immediate removal of the device, and tracheal intubation via an intubating lary
Unexpected difficulty with tracheal intubation contributes to anaesthetic morbidity and mortality. The intubating laryngeal mask is effective in facilitating blind intubation. We have evaluated the effect of cricoid pressure on the ability to insert an intubating laryngeal mask, and to pass a trache
