Abstract

Regurgitation and aspiration are rare but real risk complications in general anesthetized patients who receive the positive pressure ventilation through the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). SLIPATM, designed by Don Miller, is a novel supraglottic ventilation device. Theoretically, it may greatly reduce the risk of regurgitation and aspiration. SLIPATM has been safely used for the airway management in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. In this review, the SLIPATM about design views, construction features and procedure skills, as well as its clinical uses and prospect was briefly described. Key words: airway management; anesthesia; supraglottic ventilation device; SLIPATM
