Filter by:Flexible LMA (Laryngeal mask airway) is very useful for variable situation but it is hard to insert in correct position because of it's flexible structure. Especially in classical way of manual LMA insertion, when the index finger could not guide the flexible LMA to the optimal position, we could not guarantee the correct position of the LMA. Therefore several studies have been investigated to improve this. The light wand is a kind of stylet which have a light on the tip. Recently some studies demonstrated the usefulness of the light wand which could be used for indicating correct position of the LMA. We hypothesised there will be two advantages if the light wand is used as a stylet of the flexible LMA. First the stylet could support the mildness of the flexible LMA, and second the lightness could confirm the correct position of the flexible LMA.
Sore throat is minor but well recognized complaint after receiving general anaesthesia. It is rated as 8th most undesirable outcome in postoperative period.It not only affects the patient's satisfaction but also can affect patient activities after leaving hospital. Many factors can contribute to postoperative sore throat and the incidence has been found to vary with the method by which airway is managed. The study is conducted to compare the severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat in children undergoing elective surgery following the use of AmbuAuraOnce LMA and I-Gel. The study will be done in children who are able to self-report the severity of sore throat. This study will help us to determine which supraglottic device (I-gel vs. AmbuAuraOnce LMA) is better in terms of causing less complication spells of sore throat. The use of such device will not only reduce the severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat that may affect the activities of patient after leaving hospital but also will improve satisfaction level of patient and parents.
Comparison of two different supraglottic airway devices i.e., the ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) and Ambu AuraGain, a third generation laryngeal mask Airway.
The study aims to establish which of the two second generation Supraglottic Airway Devices, the I-gel or the the laryngeal ask airway (LMA) Protector, is best suited to be used as a conduit to fibreoptic bronchoscope assisted tracheal intubation. The primary outcome of this will be the time to complete the tracheal intubation.
The intubating laryngeal mask Fastrach™ is considered a gold standard for blind intubation as well as for fibreoptic guided intubation via a laryngeal mask. Recently, a single use version of the mask has been introduced. The Fastrach single use laryngeal mask is beng compared to the new, low-priced single use intubating laryngeal mask Ambu Aura-i™.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to compare the incidence of adverse events associated with removal of the LMA either in deeply anesthetised or awake patients.
The 90° rotation technique is known to improve the success rate of conventional LMA but its effect in LMA FlexibleTM is not known. We tried to find if 90° rotation technique could increase the first attempt success rate of the insertion of LMA FlexibleTM compared to standard technique.
The effects of desflurane versus sevoflurane in adult patients undergoing LMA anesthesia on respiratory events during a less than 2-hour elective surgery.
The aim of the trial is to obtain and to describe the position of the laryngeal mask during elective magnetic resonance imaging in paediatric patient. The radiologic findings will be compared to the clinical performance of the laryngeal mask.
This study will guide the anesthetists regarding the appropriate selection of the LMA in neonatal age group based on scientific basis. This study will add up to existing literature about the safety of LMA usage in neonates and infants. Furthermore it may shed some light on which LMA type will be more feasible and effective for neonatal/ infants usage.
