Abstract
The use is described of a prototype device to prevent regurgitation of gastric contents in 16 patients, three of whom appeared to have been at risk of regurgitation. The "Oesophageal Vent-Laryngeal Mask" consists of a laryngeal mask attached to an oesophageal tube that has a balloon at the distal end, allowing drainage of any fluid in the oesophagus.
