About

Dr. Aloka Samantaray is a leading voice in anesthesiology, with a focused expertise in airway management, particularly the evolution and clinical application of supraglottic airway devices (SADs). Her most cited work, "Supraglottic airway devices: Placement and pharyngeal seal matters!" (2020, 18 citations), provides a critical analysis of how device design and placement technique directly influence patient safety and ventilation efficacy. Dr. Samantaray’s research traces the transformative journey from Archie Brain’s original laryngeal mask airway to modern SADs, emphasizing that achieving a proper pharyngeal seal is the cornerstone of successful non-invasive airway management. Her contributions have practical implications for both operating room and non-operative anesthesia settings, helping clinicians optimize device selection and placement for short surgical procedures. By highlighting the nuances of SAD performance, Dr. Samantaray has advanced the standard of care in perioperative medicine, making her work essential reading for anesthesiologists and trainees seeking to master modern airway techniques.
