Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if an I-gel laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has a higher oropharyngeal leak pressure compared to an Ambu Auragain in adult patients in an ambulatory surgery center.
Detailed Description
Patients who are scheduled for elective ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia will be randomized to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive an I-gel laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and group 2 will receive an Ambu Auragain LMA.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •undergoing outpatient ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia that is amenable to using a laryngeal mask airway
Exclusion Criteria
- •non-English speaking patients
- •patients with abnormal airway anatomy
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure (OLP)
Time Frame: immediately after placement
OLP will be measured immediately after insertion. This will be accomplished by closing the expiratory valve while keeping fresh gas flow at 3 liters/minute until equilibrium is reached. Pressure will be reported in cmH2O.
Secondary Outcomes
- Sore Throat(24 hours post-surgery)
- Time to Placement(time from opening mouth to successful placement (4 hours))
