AB On  a  Saturday  morning,  a  42-year-old  male  presents  to  the  operating  room  for  an  urgent  cystoscopy  to  remove  a  high  ureteric  stone.  He  is  a  smoker  and  has  no  known  allergies.  He  has  been  taking  subcutaneous  hydromorphone  for  renal  colic  for  several  days  as  an  inpatient,  with  little  relief.  He  has  had  numerous  uneventful  previous  cystoscopy  and  extracorporeal  shock  wave  lithotripsy  (ESWL)  procedures  in  the  past  for  nephrolithiasis.  His  last  general  anesthetic  for  a  cystoscopy  6  months  ago  was  completed  uneventfully  after  the  insertion  of  a  LMA-Classic  #5.  He  has  been  appropriately  fasted  for  8  hours  when  he  arrives  in  the  operating  room.
