Efficacy of Baska mask and Laryngeal mask airway supreme during positive pressure ventilation & #8211; A comparative study
Conclusion: From the present study, it is concluded that the BM creates a higher oropharyngeal seal pressure than the LMAS. However, the BM is more difficult to insert. The incidence of postoperative laryngopharyngeal morbidity is similar in both groups. (Source: Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology)

Predictors of difficult airway in the obese are closely related to safe apnea time!
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that BMI and NC have a strong association with difficult airway in obese patients and are inversely related to SAT. Amongst these NC is the single most important predictor of difficult airway in obese and should be used as a screening tool. (Source: Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology)
