Rendell Baker Soucek mask for ventilation in a postrhinoplasty patient: Our experience

Sir, We read with interest the article published in J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol 2016;32:412-4. Abrar et al. used inverted mask ventilation in a postrhinoplasty patient. Using EC position of the hand, the authors used a standard silicon anatomical face mask of size 3 which was rotated 180°, placed upside down with nasal end resting over the neck and the opposite lower end of the mask placed over the upper lip. The lateral sides of the mask were fitted snugly over the side of the neck which avoided the nose altogether and a good seal was achieved.[1]
