About this study

This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, risk factors, and complications associated with use of supraglottic airway devices for primary airway maintenance during routine anesthesia in children.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to understand the efficacy of supraglottic airway (SGA) use in children in a tertiary care Children's Hospital.

Observational data regarding the type of SGA, experience level of practitioner, placement technique, number of placement attempts or placement failure, device failure, and cause of any related peri-operative complications will be prospectively collected.

The data collected in this study will allow the investigators to assess the overall safety and efficacy of SGA use in various medical and surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia in children.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Supraglottic Airway DevicePatients will receive a supraglottic airway device as a primary means of ventilation. The following devices may be used: LMA Unique, LMA ProSeal, LMA Supreme, LMA Flexible, Ambu Aura-I, Ambu Aura Once, Air-Q, I-Gel, or other supraglottic airway device. Choice of the device will be clinician dependent and based on the patients body weight per manufacturer guidelines

What is being measured

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

  1. Supraglottic Airway Device Failure

    Occurrence and reason for supraglottic airway device failure (ie inadequate ventilation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, etc) will be recorded in addition to conversion to tracheal intubation

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Ease of Placement of Supraglottic Airway Device

    Ease of placement of supraglottic airway device ranging from 1 (easy) to 4 (difficult)

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

  2. Multiple Attempts to Place Supraglottic Airway Device

    change in device, placement method, and provider will be recorded

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

  3. Airway Maneuvers/interventions

    the number and type of airway maneuvers performed after device placement and during maintenance will be recorded

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

  4. Occurrence of Inadequate Ventilation

    cause and solution for inadequate ventilation will be recorded

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

  5. Intraoperative Complications

    Time period of complication (ie during device placement, maintenance, or removal) and cause of complication (ie. dental injury, light anesthesia, regurgitation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration, etc.) will be recorded

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

  6. Postoperative Complications

    Complications noted postoperatively relating to reflex activation of the airway, sore throat, or hoarseness

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and 24 hours postoperatively
