Summary. We determined the interobserver reliability of a fibreoptic scoring system for assessing the position of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), the flexible laryngeal mask airway (FLMA) and the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILM). We also compare fibreoptic position between the devices. Thirty anaesthetised adult patients were studied in random order in a triple crossover manner. Two observers blinded to each others findings scored the fibreoptic position as follows: 4, only vocal cords visible; 3, vocal cords plus posterior epiglottis visible; 2, vocal cords plus anterior epiglottis visible; 1, vocal cord…
