Summary

Supraglottic airway devices hold a significant role in modern airway management, and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) devices are widely utilized in clinical anesthesia practice. Recently developed video-assisted LMA systems enable direct visual assessment of device placement and positioning. This technology not only has the potential to enhance patient safety but also offers an opportunity to optimize the learning process by providing visual feedback during training.

Enhancing the technical proficiency of anesthesia residents in airway management is a fundamental component of their education. However, the contribution of next-generation devices such as video LMAs to the learning process and the characterization of their learning curve have been scarcely addressed in the literature. In this context, a quantitative evaluation of the acquisition process of video-assisted LMA insertion skills may provide valuable insights for both educational strategies and patient safety.
