a study to compare two methods of confirmation of placement of proseal LMA by Ultrasound and clinical methods.

Active, not recruiting

Conditions: CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING SURGERY

Registration Number: CTRI/2017/11/010359

Lead Sponsor: AIIMS

Brief Summary: we will conduct this study with an aim to evaluateclinical usefulness of the ultrasonographic assessment of confirmation of PLMAplacement as compared to the classical clinical testsafter placement. this study will be done on patients undergoing surgery in our hospital where LMA placement is feasible. we have two groups, first group where position of Proseal LMA will be confirmed by clinical methods and second group where position will be confirmed by USG, then they will be assessed by Fibreoptic Bronchoscopy for its optimal placement. Then we will compare the two techniques.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: Closed to Recruitment of Participants

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 200

Inclusion Criteria

All patients of age 18- 65 years of age undergoing onco- surgery requiring general anaesthesia and supraglottic airway device (Proseal Laryngeal mask Airway, PLMA) as an airway management device will be recruited under this study.
