Summary

* In pediatric surgery and emergencies, LMA represents a useful airway management device for routine and difficult airway management.
* Inserting an improper LMA size may result in malposition, displacement within the hypopharynx, and failed ventilation that needs repositioning.
* Selection of the size of LMA represents a major challenge for anesthesiologists, especially in children.
* The ultrasonographic measured hyomental distance showed a correlation with the length of the pharyngeal cavity.
* Optimization of the size of the inserted LMA can be confirmed either clinically, ultrasonographic or through the fiberoptic laryngoscope.
* The ultrasonographic measured hyomental distance confirmed the optimization of LMA with results comparable to that of the clinical methods and better than those of the fiberoptic laryngoscope.
