Supraglottic airway devices (laryngeal mask, laryngeal tube) are still used in the algorithm of the expected and unexpected difficult airway. Data on prehospital and outpatient airway management are heterogeneous and sometimes contradictory. This paper critically discusses the use of the laryngeal tube in preclinical emergency medicine and shows clear advantages and disadvantages of its use. Pro: it is argued that the laryngeal tube is a valuable alternative to endotracheal intubation in prehospital management of the difficult respiratory tract in the hands of the experienced user and it should not be abandoned at present. Contra: there is evidence from several studies showing a high complication rate when using the laryngeal tube. With this in mind, the use of the laryngeal tube in resuscitation outside a strict indication should currently be viewed critically.
