The LMA Supreme: Is it a suitable alternative to the i-gel and LMA ProSeal for airway maintenance in children?

In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, Bhattacharjee and colleagues [1] present their results from a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the LMA Supreme™ (Teleflex; Triangle park, NC USA) with the i-gel™ (Intersurgical, Wokingham UK) and LMA ProSeal™ (Teleflex; Triangle park, NC USA) in children. This comparison of supraglottic airway (SGA) devices is timely, as emerging data continues to suggest that SGA use for airway management in children result in fewer peri-operative airway complications when compared to tracheal intubation [2,3].
