Brief Summary

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

Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard for securing the airway. However, while managing patients with difficult airways, various supraglottic devices have been used as rescue airway devices. The aim of this study is to compare the fiberoptic view through the internal aspect of the i-gel versus the Air-Q LMA in pediatric patients. By examining the fiberoptic view through these two devices, the investigators will determine which device provides a clearer passage to the glottic opening and is therefore the preferred conduit to aid endotracheal intubation in difficult airways.

Study Groups

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

Air-Q

The Air-Q is composed of an airway tube that connects to an elliptical mask with a cuff which is inserted through the patient's mouth, down the windpipe, and once deployed forms an airtight seal on top the glottis (unlike tracheal tubes which pass through the glottis) allowing a secure airway to be managed by a health care provider.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Air-Q

Intervention Type DEVICE

i-gel

The i-gel is designed to create a non-inflatable anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal and perilaryngeal structures whilst avoiding the compression trauma that can occur with inflatable supraglottic airway devices.
