Endotracheal intubation was perhaps the gretest invention in the field of anesthesia, as well as intensive care. It made the life of the clinicians much easier, but soon the associated drawbacks and complications made many to frown. The most compelling factor was the need of deep anesthesia and/or the need of muscle relaxants for successful insertion into the glottis. Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) revolutionized the science of airway management, as it could be used without relaxation and was less traumatic. Since the earliest versions, many new varients have been introduced. The LMA GastroTM is one of these. The authors present two case report of use of this device for positioning linear echo endoscopes and the related challenges.
