I have to agree with chbare on this one. I've used the LMA in the OR for over ten years and the King for one year. The King was approved for use in the USA in 2005. I think the King is much better than the LMA for prehospital use for all of the reasons chbare stated. The combitube is ok but not my first choice for a rescue airway. Remember, I use the LMA and the King as primary airways for use in elective cases in the OR so I have a wealth of experience with both. I really don't see the LMA as a practical alternative in the prehospital arena. I think the King should be a BLS skill.
