Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Interventions
Device: LMA
Device: COBRA
Registration Number
NCT02439021
Lead Sponsor
Qazvin University Of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has been used widely for different patients and found to be highly safe for adult and pediatric patients. However, the LMA has some limitations and weaknesses (e.g. more insertion attempts in 5% to 10 % of all cases. Despite the easy insertion of the LMA, it is crucial to check correct placement of the LMA airway.
