About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Paratracheal Compression and Cricoid Compression on LMA ProSeal Placement: a Randomised Clinical Trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of insertion

    The time required for placement will be defined as the time from receipt of the LMA ProSeal to detection of the square waveform on capnography and will be calculated by summing the time taken for each attempt.

    Measured: During intubation procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensation of resistance during inserting of LMA ProSeal

    Insertion of the LMA ProSeal will be assessed on a 4-point scale (1, no resistance; 2, moderate resistance; 3, severe resistance; and 4, impossible to insert the LMA ProSeal).

    Measured: During intubation procedure

  2. Anatomical location of the LMA ProSeal in the larynx and accuracy of insertion site.

    It will be evaluated with a fibreoptic bronchoscope placed inside the tube section of the the LMA ProSeal. Accuracy will be recorded on a five-point scale (1, only the glottis is observed; 2, the posterior surface of the epiglottis and the glottis are observed; 3, the anterior part or tip of the epiglottis and >50% of the glottis are observed; 4, the folded down epiglottis and <50% of the glottis are observed; 5, the glottis is completely hidden by the folded down epiglottis)

    Measured: 1 minutes after intubation

  3. Tidal volume and peak inspiratory pressure with or without each maneuver after LMA ProSeal insertion.

    Tidal volume and peak inspiratory pressure with or without manoeuvre will be recorded with the same ventilator settings determined for all patients.

    Measured: 2 minutes after intubation

  4. Oropharyngeal leak pressure

    Oropharyngeal leak pressure will be assessed by closing the expiratory valve of the circle system to 40 cmH2o, with a fresh gas flow of 3 L/min and noting the airway pressure when equilibrium is reached or an audible air leak occurs.

    Measured: 5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cricoid pressure and Paratracheal pressure in people with Airway Management, run by Karaman Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 3 Jan 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Duration of insertion (time frame: During intubation procedure). 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 3 Jan 2025.
