Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The i-gel airway is a supraglottic airway management device made of thermoplastic elastomer, which is soft, gel-like, and transparent. It was designed to create a noninflating anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal, and perilaryngeal structures while avoiding the compression trauma that can occur with inflatable SADs.
The i-gel has evolved as a device that accurately positions itself over the laryngeal framework, providing a reliable perilaryngeal seal, and therefore no cuff inflation is necessary. Its advantages include easier insertion, minimal risk for tissue compression, and stability after insertion.
The air-Q is a new SAD intended for use as a primary airway and an aid for tracheal intubation in situations of anticipated or unanticipated difficult airways. The intracuff pressure of air-Q dynamically equilibrates with the airway pressure and adjusts to the patient's pharyngeal and periglottic anatomy, potentially providing improved airway fit and seal.
The anatomical and physiological changes that accompany ageing may have a significant influence on the efficacy and safety of SADs. The distinctive features of the air-Q SP and i-gel may lead to a substantial difference in performance in the elderly, and it is planned a head-to-head comparison of these two devices in patients aged between 65 and 85 years.
