Trial summary

In recent years, the use of laryngeal masks has been increasing in operating room and non-operating room anesthesia applications. Patients with inappropriate LMA may develop high leakages, gastric distension and inadequate ventilation during ventilation. Read more about this study

About this study

In recent years, the use of laryngeal masks has been increasing in operating room and non-operating room anesthesia applications. Patients with inappropriate LMA may develop high leakages, gastric distension and inadequate ventilation during ventilation. If the laryngeal masks used to provide a safe airway in the patient are not selected in the appropriate size, adequate ventilation may not be provided, which may lead to various complications such as increased morbidity and mortality. In order to prevent and predict the bad results that may occur, we foresee which method can be chosen more appropriately for the patients and will guide the clinicians.

Read the detailed description

The laryngeal mask (LMA) is a subragglottic airway device commonly used to provide lung ventilation during general anesthesia. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of classical and I-GEL LMA selected with different techniques.

Successful placement of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) largely depends on the correct size selection.

The size of the laryngeal mask airway is usually determined by the weight of the patient. However, in some cases an alternative method can be used. The weight of the patient is sometimes unknown (eg, obese, malnourished, sedentary or unconscious patients) and can be unpredictable, especially in children. Therefore, it will be useful to have alternative ways (according to 1. body weight, 2. thyromental distance, 3. dimensioning with three fingers) in determining the appropriate size of the laryngeal mask size. These different methods should be simple to perform and easy to remember.

LMA is increasingly used in elective surgery, resuscitation, difficult airway and emergency situations. Successful use of the LMA largely depends on the correct size selection, method of insertion, and cuff sealing. Placing an improperly sized LMA can result in incorrect positioning and incorrect ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Airway Complication of Anesthesia, run by Yunus Emre.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Selection of the appropriate supraglottic airway device for the patient (time frame: three month). 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 24 Jun 2022.
