Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a clinically relevant difference in airway leak pressures between the Ambu AuraGain and the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Supreme.

Detailed Description

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

The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare whether there is a clinically relevant difference in airway leak pressures between the Ambu AuraGain (sizes 1.5 and 2) and the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Supreme. Parameters of clinical relevance such as insertion success rates, fiberoptic view of the glottic opening, ease and speed of gastric tube placement, airway stability, and peri-operative complications will also be assessed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ambu AuraGain

Subjects will receive the Ambu AuraGain size 1.5 or 2.0 based on manufacturer guidelines

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ambu AuraGain (size 1.5 or size 2.0)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The device will be inserted and timed. A leak pressure test will be performed after successful insertion and after 10 minutes. The larynx will be visualized by placing a fiberoptic bronchoscope through the device. A gastric tube will be inserted through the device and timed.

LMA Supreme

Subjects will receive the Ambu AuraGain size 1.5 or 2.0 based on manufacturer guidelines

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

LMA Supreme (size 1.5 or size 2.0)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The device will be inserted and timed. A leak pressure test will be performed after successful insertion and after 10 minutes. The larynx will be visualized by placing a fiberoptic bronchoscope through the device. A gastric tube will be inserted through the device and timed.
