Abstract
Supraglottic airway devices (SGAs) have advantages in reducing respiration-associated complications. However, limited studies on the influence of head and neck rotation on the risk of air leakage have been conducted. We hypothesize that different head and neck rotation angles will increase the risk of air leakage when using SGAs.
