    <abstract locale="en_US">Baska Mask (BM), the second-generation supraglottic airway device (SGAD), has many novel features, which should improve safety when used in both spontaneously breathing and IPPV anesthesia [1]. These include a noninflatable cuff, which reduces the risk of oropharyngeal tissue and/or nerve damage induced by cuff overinflation, a known complication with other supraglottic airways [2]. It also has an additional gastric channel and a bite block. We recently encountered an unusual case of Baska mask failure.</abstract>
