简要总结
The Air-Q® intubating laryngeal airway (Air-Q® ILA) is an extraglottic device specifically engineered for use both as a stand-alone laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and as a rescue device or "Plan B" device in the event of a difficult airway. As with some other types of LMA, it is then possible to insert an endotracheal tube (ETT) through the Air-Q® ILA, either blindly or mounted on a fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB), to achieve endotracheal intubation. This will be a prospective observational study of the Air-Q® ILA's performance.
详细描述
Hypothesis: The Air-Q® intubating laryngeal airway (Air-Q® ILA) will: (1) perform satisfactorily as a primary airway; (2) perform comparably or better than the ProSeal™ LMA (PLMA); and (3) act as an excellent conduit for fibreoptic intubation.
Background: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is used during pediatric anesthesia for routine and difficult airway management. The ideal pediatric LMA device would provide excellent sealing at low pressure; facilitate easy endotracheal intubation; and be available in pediatric sizes. Such a device would be an invaluable addition to difficult pediatric airway management plans and, by increasing the likelihood of quickly and effectively securing the difficult airway, and decreasing the risk of catastrophic hypoxemia, would increase perioperative safety for children. The Air-Q® ILA is a modified LMA device whose features encompass the characteristics of the ideal LMA. Our objective is to determine whether or not this new airway device is an improvement over the current standard of care.
Specific Objectives:
- To test the performance characteristics of the Air-Q® ILA as a primary airway in clinical pediatric anesthetic practice;
- To compare Air-Q® ILA performance to the current best option, the PLMA for sizes 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5; To evaluate the performance characteristics of the Air-Q® ILA as a conduit for fibreoptic intubation
