Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the Protector Laryngeal mask with the Supreme laryngeal mask. Other secondary parameters will be studied.
Detailed Description
The OLP as the primary outcome measurement will be evaluated after insertion of the LMA in each group. We hypothesize that there will be a difference of 4 cm H2O between the 2 masks, because of the different material and slightly different form of the masks. Secondary outcomes will be measured after insertion of the LMA as by protocol. Finally postoperative airway morbidity will be evaluated 3 hours after removal of the LMA.
