LMA size is selected based on patient weight rather than gender or height. The LMA combined with a bronchial blocker avoids direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, theoretically reducing airway trauma. LMA adequacy is confirmed by achieving an oropharyngeal leak pressure greater than 20 cmH₂O. The VBB is passed through the LMA central channel under real-time visual guidance.
