Trial summary

Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are well established in anesthetic practice. Among these devices ,classic laryngeal airway has been typically widely used. The self-pressurised air-Q (air-Q) is newly developed supraglottic airway devices. Read more about this study

About this study

Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are well established in anesthetic practice. Among these devices ,classic laryngeal airway has been typically widely used. The self-pressurised air-Q (air-Q) is newly developed supraglottic airway devices. It is a new single-use device that may optimise the airway sealing while reducing the potential for postoperative complications such as sore throat. The overall structure of the air-Q SP is identical to the original air-Q, except with regard to the inflatable cuff. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare the clinical performance of the classic LMA and the air-Q SP.

What is being measured

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

  1. airway leak pressure measured after device insertion

    Airway leak pressure was determined by adjusting the expiratory valve of the breathing circle to 40 cmH2O (fixed fresh gas flow 3 L/min) and recording the pressure when equilibrium was reached.

    Measured: within 5min to 10 min insertion of each device

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Insertion time

    Insertion time was defined as the time from the attending anesthesiologist picking up the LMA until the confirmation on capnography.

    Measured: During and 1 min after insertion of each device

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insertion of C-LMA and Insertion of air-Q according in people with Surgery, run by Yonsei University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Jan 2019. 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. 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?

airway leak pressure measured after device insertion (time frame: within 5min to 10 min insertion of each device). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02206438, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2019.
