Not Applicable
Conditions
Adverse Anesthesia Outcome
Interventions
Device: Laryngeal Tube Suction
Registration Number
NCT02866890
Lead Sponsor
Bnai Zion Medical Center
Brief Summary

The Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable( LTS-D) has recently undergone considerable structural changes in design. As these changes may influence the performance of the LTS-D relative to the old LTS-D version the investigator decided to check the new LTS-D in the pediatric version The investigator hypothesized that the LTS-D perform clinically well during general anesthesia with controlled ventilation.

Detailed Description

The LTS-D, is a second generation supraglottic airway device, made from the medical polyvinyl chloride introduce in 2005. It is used for maintaining the airway during spontaneous and controlled ventilation during general anesthesia . It has been advocated for prehospital emergency airway management and serves as a useful tool during failed intubations The LTS-D has recently undergone considerable changes in design based on clinical studies and investigators feedback. The new LTS-D is available to adult and pediatric sizes.For childrens the devices is presented in the size 3 for patients of \< 155 cm (\> 30 Kg.), the size 2.5 for patients 125-150cm. (20-30 Kg.), the size 2 for patients of 12-25 Kg, the size 1 for patients of 5-12 Kg and the size 0 for patients \< 5 Kg.

As these changes may influence the performance of the LTS-D relative to the old LTS-D version the investigator decided to check the new LTS-D in the pediatric version.

The investigator hypothesized that the LTS-D perform clinically well during general anesthesia with controlled ventilation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Seal pressure in cm H2Oone minute

We will measure the seal leak pressure at 60 cm H2O intracuff pressure and the minimal pressure of the cuff to performed effective volume controlled ventilation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time of insertion in secondsone minute

Was measured as the time after the anesthesiologist removed the facemask until the square-wave capnograph tracing was observed after insertion of the LTS-D. Two attempts at insertion were permitted.
