Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Laryngeal mask airways can be re-sterilized 100 to 200 times, but marked discoloration and fail-ure of the pilot tube and cuff to hold pressure are indications that the tube should be discarded. The cuff should not be filled with water, and laryngeal mask airways do not have foam cuffs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Combitube has two cuffs; one is proximal and the other distal. They are designed to seal the esophagus and the pharynx.
