Extraglottic devices and cricothyroidotomy are used in different situations, so direct comparisons can be misleading. Extraglottic devices, like laryngeal mask airways, are typically used when the upper airway is intact or in controlled environments. Cricothyroidotomy is an emergency procedure used when there is severe upper airway obstruction and other methods fail.

Another point: Definitive airways, in addition to providing ventilation, should also ensure protection of the airways from aspiration of stomach contents. SGAs (supraglottic airways) do not provide this protection.
