Perhaps to avoid subglottic/vocal cord/laryngeal balloon-related injury in case you inadvertently retract the ETT during removal of the LMA? If the ETT is tight or not well lubricated, it would be easy to do.
Hi Jane! Using inward and downward pressure, present the AirQ-3 LMA into the pharynx. Pushing forward, advance until fixed resistance to the forward movement is felt - then pull back slightly. Correct placement is determined by this resistance to further advancement. The distal tip of the cuff (gastric inlet) is positioned at the oesophagus, covering it. The LMA cuff sits covering the trachea, with the aid of the epiglottis elevator, lifting the epiglottis, opening the airway for maximum access. I hope this answers your question. Please get in touch if you need anything else. For more information: info.fannin.eu/air-q3

Indications of LMA .video upload pannuga
good pre ET tube intubation device #👍🇵🇰
🎉
Why to deflat the endotracheal tube when you removing the laryngeal tube ??
So to easy removal due to space limitations

im not removing it ,,, staying there. to many problems.
So you don't domage the vocal cord
Does the mask cover the opening of the trachea only? Or does it cover both the trachea and esophagus?
