Considerations when using a cLMA include:

• Careful case selection and excellent technique improves cLMA performance and safety, and will reduce complications
• Insertion of the cLMA is a simple technique, but requires considerable attention to detail
• Use of the cLMA is contraindicated in patients with identified risk of regurgitation
• Use of the cLMA during positive pressure ventilation is widespread, but not universally approved of. The ProSeal LMA is a more effective alternative
