Highlights the concern that increased Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) use is reducing the frequency of tracheal intubations performed by trainees, potentially compromising their skills for challenging cases.

Abdalla et al. (1999) conducted a letter in Airway management. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) vs. Tracheal intubation was evaluated on Tracheal intubations performed per day by anaesthetic SHOs. Laryngeal mask airway popularity has led to a decline in traditional tracheal intubation practice, with anaesthetic SHOs performing on average less than 2 intubations per day.
