The Bailey maneuver (managing the airway with an ETT throughout the case and then exchanging for an LMA while deeply anesthetized (12. Nair 1995), has also been shown to provide less stimulating emergence. Unfortunately, the Bailey maneuver is relatively contraindicated in cases in which there is the perception that reintubation would be difficult, as the risks of exchanging a functioning airway device for one that has not been tested outweighs the potential benefits of a smooth emergence.
