About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Laryngeal Mask Airway and Endotracheal Tube in Premature Neonates Undergoing General Anesthesia for Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery

Objectives: To compare the perioperative respiratory adverse events between using laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube in preterm neonates receiving general anesthesia for hernia surgery.

Read the detailed description

The participant patients will be randomly allocated into two groups: the laryngeal mask airway group (LMA group) and endotracheal tube group (ETT group). Masking ventilation with sevoflurane will be used for anesthesia induction till the adequate anesthetic depth. Intubation with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or endotracheal tube (ETT) will be done as allocated group. After the surgery completed and the patient wakened up, the anesthesiologist will remove the LMA or ETT according to the clinical criteria for extubation.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • intubation with Endotracheal tubeDevice

    After masking ventilation with sevoflurane till the adequate anesthetic depth, intubation will be done with endotracheal tube (ETT).

  • intubation with laryngeal mask airwayDevice

    After masking ventilation with sevoflurane till the adequate anesthetic depth, intubation will be done with laryngeal mask airway (LMA).

What is being measured

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

  1. Perioperative respiratory complication

    laryngospasm, bronchospasm, severe cough, delayed extubation or prolonged oxygen dependence, apnea, bradycardia, and postoperative stridor

    Measured: from induction of anesthesia to postoperative 24 hours

  2. postoperative hospital stays

    the lengths of postoperative hospital stays

    Measured: from postoperative day 1 up to postoperative day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intubation with Endotracheal tube and intubation with laryngeal mask airway in people with Preterm Infant and Anesthesia, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 15 Mar 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Perioperative respiratory complication (time frame: from induction of anesthesia to postoperative 24 hours). The study lists 2 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 15 Mar 2022.
