About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the time-related intracuff pressure and volume change (which reflects the pharyngeal pressure) of the LT during anesthesia with N2O.

Read the detailed description

Background : The laryngeal tube airway (LT) is an extraglottic airway device with a proximal and distal conical cuff designed to secure a patient's airway during either spontaneous breathing or controlled ventilation. Application of this device with the use of N2O may be related to the ischemic change of the oropharyngeal mucosa. The objective of this study was to investigate the time-related intracuff pressure and volume change (which reflects the pharyngeal pressure) of the LT during anesthesia with N2O.

Methods : Seventy-five patients were studied with the use of LT size 4. N2O (66%) and isoflurane were used to maintain anesthesia. Initial intracuff pressure and volume were recorded for airway sealing during ventilation. Time-course changes of the intracuff pressure followed by recording every 10 min. If the intracuff pressure reached 100 cmH2O, the cuff was deflated to the initial intracuff pressure and the volume of deflated air and postoperative airway complications were recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adult Disease, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 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 5 May 2011. 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 Thailand. 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. 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?

intracuff pressure (time frame: 1-4 hours). 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 5 May 2011.
