About this study

Official title: I-Gel Versus Disposable Laryngeal Mask Airway for General Anesthesia With Controlled Ventilation

Randomized controlled trial comparing performance of the I-gel and disposable Laryngeal Mask Airways under controlled ventilation. 200 patients, 100 in each arm. Measurement of peak airway and sealing pressures. Postoperative questionnaires at 1 and 24hrs.

Hypothesis

There is no difference between the performance* of the I-gel and disposable laryngeal mask airways for controlled ventilation under general anesthesia.

*as defined by peak airway pressure and sealing pressures.

Conditions
Healthy
Being tested
Insertion of laryngeal mask airway (AuraOnce mask), Insertion of I-gel airway, Measurement of airway pressures

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Insertion of laryngeal mask airway (AuraOnce mask)Device

    Insertion of laryngeal mask airway under anaesthesia: Fentanyl 1-2mcg/kg; Propofol 1-3mg/kg; Atracurium 0.5mg/kg; AuraOnce disposable laryngeal mask

  • Insertion of I-gel airwayDevice

    Insertion of I-gel airway under anaesthesia; Fentanyl 1-2mcg/kg; Propofol 1-3mg/kg; Atracurium 0.5mg/kg

  • Measurement of airway pressuresOther

    Measurement of peak airway pressure under steady state; measurement of device seal pressure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insertion of laryngeal mask airway (AuraOnce mask), Insertion of I-gel airway and Measurement of airway pressures in people with Healthy, run by Northern Health and Social Care Trust.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sealing pressure and peak airway pressure. (time frame: Under anaesthesia.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2009.
