Why has the laryngeal mask airway found favor in same-day surgery? In large part because the device facilitates the fast-track approach to rapid post-anesthesia recovery.

I'm going to discuss how LMAs can minimize room turnover time, increase case efficiency and offer the possibility of safely adding more patients to your already busy day.
