    A randomized controlled trial assessed tailored management of inflatable laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) cuff pressure in elderly patients.

  • 2

    The individualized regulation and real-time monitoring (RM) cohort experienced significantly lower pharyngolaryngeal discomfort compared to the empirical inflation (EI) cohort.

  • 3

    Cuff pressure was significantly higher in the EI group, leading to increased postoperative complications such as mucosal damage.

  • 4

    The study found that tailored cuff pressure management can effectively reduce postoperative pharyngolaryngeal discomfort in older adults.

  • 5

    Continuous monitoring of ILMA cuff pressure is essential to prevent excessive inflation and related complications in geriatric patients.
