Generally, the laryngeal mask airway is not considered in the surgery which should be changing position in the perioperative period. The shape of the pharynx changes during the head and neck movement and there is probably also a change in the force transmitted to the cuff along the airway tube.

In this article, the investigators want to discuss about that oropharyngeal leak pressure and sealing between the mask and vocal cord while changing head and neck position in perioperative period using different types of supraglottic airway device.
