LMA-Protector (LMAP)-oxygenated and -visualised intubation procedure: (a) detail of catheter mount connected to endotracheal tube (ET) passed into LMAP with disposable bronchoscope inside ET; (b) detail of bronchoscope-catheter mount – ET connection; and (c) final assembly to perform intubation through LMAP. At any time during intubation, ET cuff may be inflated and ventilation provided through catheter mount connected to respiratory circuit

(a) Note different lengths of same size (7.5) endotracheal tube (ET) through a #4 LMA Protector™ (LMAP); from up to bottom, Teleflex (Teleflex Medical, Athlone, Ireland), Smiths (Smiths Medical, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and LMA-Fastrach™ (Teleflex Medical, Athlone, Ireland) reinforced silicon-tipped ET. In all cases, ET connector (not visible) was stopped at LMAP connector, (b) minimum length of different sizes/brands ET, and (c) maximum distance from tip to maximal end of cuff of different sizes/brands of ET
