Final answer:

A laryngeal mask should be removed when the baby is spontaneously and effectively breathing and an endotracheal (ET) tube can be inserted.

Step-by-step explanation:

A laryngeal mask should be removed when:

  1. The baby is spontaneously and effectively breathing.
  2. An endotracheal (ET) tube can be inserted.

Both conditions need to be met for the laryngeal mask to be removed.
