🌀 Does head position affect supraglottic airway seal?

This randomised comparative study investigates how head rotation influences oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) when using two popular supraglottic devices:
🔸 LMA-Protector™ 🔹 i-gel®

📈 Outcomes could guide optimal device choice and positioning during anaesthesia!
