About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study of the Setting of Laryngeal Mask Airway Intracuff Pressure Based on Airway Peak Pressure

The investigators aimed to explore the effects of airway peak pressure (Ppeak) guidance on the least laryngeal mask airway (LMA) intracuff pressure setting during general anesthesia and the effects on postoperative complications in the throat. One hundred and twenty patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grades I or II) scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled in our study. The patients were divided into pressure-regulated group (group P) and control group (group C) randomly. Supreme LMA was inserted in after general anesthesia induction. Air was injected into the cuff to make the intracuff pressure (ICP) achieve 60 cmH2O. Volume-controlled ventilation was selected and Ppeak was recorded. In group P, all the gas in the LMA cuff was sucked out, and then air was injected in during expiration phase to make ICP achieve the level of Ppeak. If there's any leakage, increase 5 cmH2O every time till there's no air leakage from the mouth. After pneumoperitoneum, the cuff was inflated to make ICP achieve 60 cmH2O and Ppeak was recorded once more. Then all the gas in the LMA cuff was sucked out, and air was injected into the cuff during expiration phase to make ICP achieve the level of Ppeak as the above method till the end of operation. During pneumoperitoneum, the pressure of CO2 was set at 10 cmH2O. In group C, ICP was maintained at 60 cmH2O. Ppeak, ICP and the intracuff gas volume were recorded before and after pneumoperitoneum. ICP during inspiratory phase in the two groups was measured. Tidal volume during inspiration (VTI) and expiration (VTE) in the two groups were recorded, and the leakage rate was calculated as [(VTI-VTE)/ VTI×100%]. Throat complications of all the patients in 24 hours after surgeries were also recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • Airway peak pressureProcedure or surgery

    Air was injected into LMA cuff during expiration phase to make intracuff pressure achieve the level of airway peak pressure. If there's any leakage, increase 5 cmH2O every time till there's no air leakage from the mouth.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Airway peak pressure in people with Laryngeal Mask Airway, run by Yangzhou University.

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 18 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The intracuff gas volume before pneumoperitoneum (time frame: Intraoperative). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Mar 2020.
