Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Intervention

Device:
• I-Gel Laryngeal Mask Airway
The I-Gel Laryngeal Mask Airway is a medical device that keeps a patient's airway open during anaesthesia or unconsciousness.
• Ambu Auragain Laryngeal Mask Airway
The Ambu Auragain Laryngeal Mask Airway is a medical device that keeps a patient's airway open during anaesthesia or unconsciousness.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure (OLP)	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.	immediately after placement
Secondary	Time to Placement	Time required to place laryngeal mask airway will be measured and reported in seconds.	time from opening mouth to successful placement (4 hours)
Secondary	Sore Throat	Participants will be asked upon discharge from recovery room (approximately 8 hours post surgery) to rate the soreness of their throat on a numerical rating scale of 0-10 (0 being no soreness and 10 being maximum imaginable soreness). Participants will be asked to rate throat soreness again via phone call approximately 24 hours after surgery.	Pain right before discharge from pacu (8 hours)
Secondary	Sore Throat	Participants will be asked upon discharge from recovery room (approximately 8 hours post surgery) to rate the soreness of their throat on a numerical rating scale of 0-10 (0 being no soreness and 10 being maximum imaginable soreness). Participants will be asked to rate throat soreness again via phone call approximately 24 hours after surgery.	24 hours post-surgery
