Brief Summary

Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are well established in anesthetic practice. Among these devices ,classic laryngeal airway has been typically widely used. The self-pressurised air-Q (air-Q) is newly developed supraglottic airway devices. It is a new single-use device that may optimise the airway sealing while reducing the potential for postoperative complications such as sore throat. The overall structure of the air-Q SP is identical to the original air-Q, except with regard to the inflatable cuff. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare the clinical performance of the classic LMA and the air-Q SP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • airway leak pressure measured after device insertion

    Airway leak pressure was determined by adjusting the expiratory valve of the breathing circle to 40 cmH2O (fixed fresh gas flow 3 L/min) and recording the pressure when equilibrium was reached.

    within 5min to 10 min insertion of each device

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Insertion time

    During and 1 min after insertion of each device

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Ease of insertion

    During and 1 min after insertion of each device

Study Arms (2)

1)C-LMA group

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Insertion of C-LMA

2)Air-Q group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Device: Insertion of air-Q according

Interventions

After induction of general anesthesia, C-LMA or Air-Q was inserted according to randomly allocated group.

1)C-LMA group

After induction of general anesthesia, C-LMA or Air-Q was inserted according to randomly allocated group.

2)Air-Q group

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patients (20-75 of age) scheduled for elective surgery of short duration (less than 2 hr) undergoing general anesthesia using supraglottic airway
