Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Device: Insertion of laryngeal mask airway (AuraOnce mask)
Device: Insertion of I-gel airway
Other: Measurement of airway pressures
Registration Number
NCT00668278
Lead Sponsor
Northern Health and Social Care Trust
Brief Summary

Randomized controlled trial comparing performance of the I-gel and disposable Laryngeal Mask Airways under controlled ventilation. 200 patients, 100 in each arm. Measurement of peak airway and sealing pressures. Postoperative questionnaires at 1 and 24hrs.

Hypothesis

There is no difference between the performance\* of the I-gel and disposable laryngeal mask airways for controlled ventilation under general anesthesia.

\*as defined by peak airway pressure and sealing pressures.
