The laryngoscope-guided, gum elastic bougie-guided insertion of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway has potential for cardiopulmonary resuscitation by novices when conventional intubation fails. "In the following pilot study, we compared conventional laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation (tracheal intubation) and laryngoscope-guided, gum elastic bougie-guided ProSeal laryngeal mask airway insertion (guided ProSeal) for airway management by first-month anesthesia residents after brief manikin-only training.
