Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Excessive intracuff pressureas long as the LMA is in place in the OR with usually a max amount of time of 45 minutes

Our primary goal is to compare the incidence of excessive intracuff pressure after EGD probe insertion between the newly designed LMA and the older version LMA. For this primary outcome, we will define excessive intracuff pressure as ≥40 cmH2O.
