Brief Summary

Our study aimed to compare two different laryngeal masks, SaCoVLM™ Video Laryngeal Mask and blind placement with LMA Supreme, in adult patients undergoing short elective surgeries. The aim is to optimize the use of commonly used laryngeal masks in clinical practice and examine the differences in oropharyngeal leak pressures.

Detailed Description

Laryngeal masks are alternative airway devices commonly used in anesthesia, serving both spontaneously breathing and ventilated patients. LMA Supreme, a second-generation laryngeal mask, has been widely used in routine anesthesia practices and short-duration procedures in our clinic. The advantage of second-generation masks is the presence of gastric access pathways, allowing for additional decompression of the stomach. SaCoVLM™ Video Laryngeal Mask also features a gastric access pathway. Placement of laryngeal masks requires attention to the anatomical features of the airway. Unsuccessful placement of a laryngeal mask can lead to issues such as throat pain, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, airway obstruction, or leakage, as well as an increase in intragastric pressure due to gastric distention.

Our research is a prospective, randomized, controlled method study.The aim in this study is to reveal most accurate placement technique and device to transfer this method to clinical applications. Patients will be evaluated in two groups.

Group 1: Placement with SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask Group 2: Placement of the LMA Supreme with standard technique

After LMA Supreme and SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask placement, airway sealing pressures will be measured with appropriate technique. Airway tightness pressure measurement will be made with the technique accepted in the literature through the sensors in the anesthesia machine.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oropharyngeal leak pressureImmediately after the laryngeal mask is placed, before start of surgery

Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) will be measured by closing the adjustable pressure limiting valve on the anesthesia machine. The fresh gas flow was adjusted to 4 L/min. When the APL (Adjustable pressure limiting) valve was closed and manually ventilated. The leak sound that occurs during ventilation will be auscultated. The first peak airway pressure at which the leak occurs will be recorded as the oropharyngeal leak pressure.

After successful insertion, laryngeal mask location will be evaluated with fiberoptic imaging.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of Glottis Visualization ScoresIntraoperative period after the LMA insertion

This will be assessed using five stages; Stage 1: Vocal cords not visible. Stage 2: Vocal cords and anterior epiglottis visible. Stage 3: Vocal cords and posterior epiglottis visible. Stage 4: Only vocal cords visible.

Peak Inspratuar Pressure and Plato PressureIntraoperative period

Peak Inspratuar Pressure and Plato Pressure will be measured after the OLP measurement

Insertion timeProcedure (Time from LMA handling to first wave formation in capnography, assessed from the initiation of LMA handling until the detection of the first capnography wave.)

Insertion time will be the time between picking up the device and successful placement

Number of attempts to place the deviceIntraoperative period

Number of attempts needed for successful placement will be recorded.

Blood pressurePreoperatively, one minute after the induction, fifth minute and before removed laryngeal mask.

Non-invasive blood pressure will measure blood pressure in millimeters of mercury.

Heart ratePreoperatively, one minute after the induction, fifth minute and before removed laryngeal mask.

Heart rate will be measured in beats per minute with an electrocardiography monitor.

Peripheral oxygen saturationPreoperatively, one minute after the induction, fifth minute and before removed laryngeal mask.

Peripheral oxygen saturation per minute will be measured by pulse oximetry

ComplicationsIntraoperative and postoperative day 1.

The presence of complications that may be encountered after LMA removal will be investigated (Cough, Bucking, Laryngospasm, Aspiration, Desaturation(SpO2%\< 90%), Need airway assist device(Nasal or oral airway), Blood on the surface of the cuff, hoarseness,sore throat)
