Video Laryngeal Mask Versus Endotracheal Tube Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Cholecystitis
Registration Number
NCT06502028
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using a video laryngeal mask for airway management in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Detailed Description

The investigators will compare the time required to secure the airway when inserting a video laryngeal mask (LMA) versus performing endotracheal intubation.
