Flexion decreases the ventilation quality of the Ambu® AuraGain™ laryngeal mask in paralysed children: A prospective randomised crossover study.

Clinically, the flexed head and neck positions negatively affected ventilation due to obstruction of the airway. Ventilation with AuraGain™ can be effectively performed with the head and neck in the neutral, extended and rotated position in paediatric patients.
