Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Laryngeal Masks
• Interventions: Device: I-gel; Device: ProSeal Laryngeal mask

• Registration Number: NCT01704118
• Lead Sponsor: Inonu University

Brief Summary

Objective of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to compare the performances of recently-released size 1 I-gel and size 1 PLMA proven to be superior to classical LMA with prospective studies. In this study, primer endpoint was value of airway leak pressure and secondary insertion time, insertion success and conditions, initial airway quality, hemodynamic parameters, fiberoptic view and complications will be assessed.

Detailed Description

Routine monitorization will be performed. Lidocaine 1 mg.kg-1, remifentanil 1 mcg.kg-1 (slow bolus in approximately 1 minute) and 3 mg.kg-1 propofol will be administered in anaesthesia induction.

In Group P, PLMA with fully deflated cuff and applied water-based lubricant, will be inserted using a metal introducer. After insertion, cuff will be inflated with a recommended volume of air and then cuff pressure will be adjusted to 60 cm H2O with manometer.

In Group I, I-gel with its cuff lubricated will be orally inserted along the hard palate until resistance will be felt, as recommended by the manufacturer.

The time between picking up the prepared PLMA (with introducer and deflated cuff) or I-gel and the appearance of the first stable capnographic trace will be recorded as the insertion time. The conditions for insertion will be ere scored according to mouth (1: full, 2: partial, 3: nil), gagging or coughing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), swallowing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), head or limb movement (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), laryngospasm (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: complete) and ease of insertion (1: easy, 2: difficult, 3: impossible).

Fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 3 L.min-1, and after closing the expiratory valve the airway pressure at which an audible leak in the mouth occurred will recorded as the 'Pleak'. When Pleak reach 35 cm H2O, expiratory valve will be opened.

Anatomical position of airway device will viewed by inserting fiberoptic bronchoscope through the ventilation tube.

Complications encountered during and at the end of the operation such as desaturation (sPO2 less than 90%), gastric insufflation, aspiration, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and blood stain on the airway device during removal will be recorded.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
I-gel	I-gel	I-gel (Intersurgical Ltd, Wokingham, Berkshire, UK) is a disposable supraglottic airway device with a non-inflatable cuff in which part of that is fixed on glottis is made of thermoplastic elastomer, unlike other laryngeal masks
ProSeal Laryngeal mask	ProSeal Laryngeal mask	ProSeal laryngeal mask (PLMA) (LMA North America, Inc., San Diego, USA) is a modified type of LMA (larger and deeper bowl and enlarged and softer cuff) with gastric drainage tube.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Airway leak pressure	1 year (After anesthesia induction)	Fresh gas flow will adjust to 3 L.min-1, and after closing the expiratory valve the airway pressure at which an audible leak in the mouth occurred will be recorded as the 'Pleak'.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Insertion time and conditions	1year (During maintainance of anesthesia)	The time between picking up the device and the appearance of the first stable capnographic trace will be recorded as the insertion time. The conditions for insertion were scored according to mouth (1: full, 2: partial, 3: nil), gagging or coughing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), swallowing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), head or limb movement (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), laryngospasm (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: complete) and ease of insertion (1: easy, 2: difficult, 3: impossible).
Initial airway quality	During maintainance of anesthesia	Initial airway quality will be evaluated with manual ventilation by adjusting APL valve to 20 cm H2O. Evaluation will be performed with a scale as excellent (no leaks heard), good/acceptable (a slight, clinically insignificant leak, sufficient ventilation) and poor/unacceptable (significant leak and insufficient ventilation which requires reposition or relocation of device) by listening to lungs, epigastrium and perilaryngeal field and observing the expansion of thorax.
Evaluation of fiberoptic view	1 year (During maintainance of anesthesia)	The breathing system will be disconnected and fiberoptic bronchoscope will be inserted through the ventilation tube to evaluate glottic view. Fiberoptic images will be recorded by using a digital camera. The images will be graded according to the score of 1 to 5.
Complications	1year(During maintainance of anesthesia)	Complications encountered during and at the end of the operation such as desaturation, gastric insufflation, aspiration, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and blood stain on the airway device during removal will be recorded.
