About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Size 3 ProsealTM Laryngeal Mask Airway Versus Size 4 in Anaesthetized, Non-paralyzed Women: A Randomised Controlled Trial

The investigators hypothesize that ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) of smaller size would reduce the incidence of mucosal injury.

Read the detailed description

The ProSealTM laryngeal mask airway (PLMA; Laryngeal Mask Co. Limited, Mahe, Seychelles) is a laryngeal mask device with an added dorsal cuff to improve the seal and a drainage tube to prevent aspiration and gastric insufflations(Brain, Verghese et al. 2000).Despite its utility, there are complications associated with PLMA insertion such as sore throat and mucosal injury including oropharyngeal blood.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to determine if size 3 PLMA would induce less mucosal damage indicated by blood on the cuff than size 4 in non-paralyzed female patients. The secondary objective of this study is to compare insertion time, number of attempts, oropharyngeal leak pressure, hemodynamic variables, and incidence of complications with size 3 and 4 PLMA.

Being tested
insertion of the ProSeal LMA (PLMA), insertion of the PLMA

What participants receive

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

  • insertion of the ProSeal LMA (PLMA)Device

    Also called insertion, ProSeal LMA size 3

    ProSeal LMA size 3 is inserted to the patients of Group size 3.

  • insertion of the PLMADevice

    Also called insertion, ProSeal LMA size 4

    ProSeal LMA size 4 is inserted to the patients of Group size 4.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. blood on the ProSeal LMA

    The incidence of blood on the proseal LMA upon removal of the device is assessed in each group.

    Measured: from the start of ProSeal LMA insertion until the end of the anesthesia (around 30min , mostly less than 60min)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. hemodynamic variables

    mean arterial pressure and heart rate before and after the Proseal LMA insertion are measured.

    Measured: from induction of anesthesia until immediately after the Proseal LMA insertion

  2. insertion time

    Measured: from grasping the Proseal LMA until an effective airway is established

  3. seal pressure

    oropharyngeal leak pressure

    Measured: after successful insertion of Proseal LMA

  4. other intraoperative complications

    airway leak, failed ventilation, regurgitation/aspiration, laryngospasm, cough/gag/retching/hiccup.

    Measured: from successful insertion of PLMA until the end of the anesthesia

  5. postoperative complications

    sore throat and hoarseness

    Measured: from removal of Proseal LMA until discharge from recovery room

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing insertion of the ProSeal LMA (PLMA) and insertion of the PLMA in people with Oropharyngeal Injury, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 27 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

blood on the ProSeal LMA (time frame: from the start of ProSeal LMA insertion until the end of the anesthesia (around 30min , mostly less than 60min)). 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 27 Aug 2012.
