About this study

Official title: Prediction of Optimal Laryngeal Mask Airway Cuff Volume From Parameters of Physical Examination of Head and Neck

Overinflation of laryngeal mask airway cuff increase side effect like hoarseness, vocal cord paralysis, sorethroat. The investigators will study correlation between laryngeal mask airway cuff volume and pressure and physical examination of head and neck.

Read the detailed description

Overinflation of laryngeal mask airway cuff can induce side effects like hoarseness, vocal cord paralysis, sorethroat. Some study revealed that 60cmH2O of intracuff pressure is maximum pressure which is not increase side effect.

The manufacturer recommends that the cuff is inflated with the minimum volume of air required to provide an effective seal(max volume - size 3, 20 ml; size 4, 30 ml; size 5, 40).

The investigators will measure anatomical structure (neck circumference, neck length, thyroid-mental distance, etc.) which can influence cuff volume and pressure and find correlation between cuff volume and physical figure measured.

What participants receive

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

  • Classic laryngeal mask airwayDevice

    1. measurement of head and neck
    • Ht,Wt,BMI, neck circumference above a thyroid cartilage, mandible circumference( from the lower part of earlobe-mandible angle-mentum-mandible angle to the lower part of earlobe), neck length (mastoid tip~sternal notch), modified mallampati classification under sitting position, thyromental distance.
    1. laryngeal mask airway insertion and measuring cuff pressure by pressure transducer
    • # 4.0 for female, #5.0 for male
    • initial cuff volume(air) : maximum volume recommended by the manufacturer
    • check pressure : if it exceed 60cmH20, we will remove air until 60cmH20
    • remove air until gas leak occured around the cuff under airway pressure 15cmH20, fresh gas flow 6liters/min. Check the volume and pressure just before leakage occured.

What is being measured

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

  1. optimal laryngeal mask airway cuff volume

    ◦The investigators remove air until gas leak occured around the cuff under airway pressure 15cm H20, fresh gas flow 6liters/min. Check the volume and pressure just before leakage occured.

    Measured: 20minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Classic laryngeal mask airway in people with Anesthesia, run by Korea University Anam 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 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 17 Feb 2016. 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?

optimal laryngeal mask airway cuff volume (time frame: 20minutes). 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 17 Feb 2016.
