Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this randomized prospective study is to compare two single-use laryngeal mask airways the LMA Unique and the LMA Supreme, in pediatric patients. The investigators hypothesize that airway leak pressures with the LMA Supreme will be superior to the LMA Unique.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to compare the LMA Unique and LMA-Supreme in children undergoing anesthesia. The investigators hypothesize that airway leak pressures with the LMA Supreme will be superior when compared with the LMA Unique at two different standardized intracuff pressures (40 and 60 cm H20). Airway leak pressures will be measured by recording the circuit pressure at which equilibrium is reached. The ease of placement, fiberoptic grade of laryngeal view, feasibility of use, and complications will also be assessed.

LMA Unique

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

LMA Unique: control device

Intervention Type DEVICE

LMA Unique will be placed in children based on a computer generated randomization. One of four different sizes of airways will be used: 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5. The size of the airway device will be determined according to the manufacturer's guidelines that are standardized by the patient's weight in kilograms.

LMA Supreme

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

LMA Supreme: comparison device

Intervention Type DEVICE

LMA Supreme will be placed in children based on a computer generated randomization. One of four different sizes of airways will be used: 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5, The size of the airway device will be determined according to the manufacturer's guidelines that are standardized by the patient's weight in kilograms.
