Comparison of Air QTM Intubating Airway Versus Ambu-Aura Intubating Laryngeal Mask

Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Air QTM Intubating Airway Versus Ambu-Aura Intubating Laryngeal Mask Obese Patients Under General Anaesthesia.

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Supraglottic airway devices are important tools for airway management. Supraglottic airway devices have been introduced into brief surgical interventions because they are less invasive than intubation and safer than mask to maintain the patency of airway after induction of anesthesia. They are inserted via the oral route and can be used in emergency conditions when tracheal intubation and mask anesthesia are challenging.

Air Q intubating airway and Ambu Aura intubating laryngeal mask are two Supraglottic airway devices that are widely used.

Aim of the work is to compare Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway versus Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask regarding sealing pressure and Fiberoptic intubation in class II obese patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Randomized comparative trial that will be performed in Kasr Al Ainy hospital, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.ASA II patients from 20 to 50 years of age, undergoing minor surgry were included in this study. 40 patients will be allocated into 2 equal groups using computerized software and enclosed in sealed opaque envelopes:

GQ ( n=20 ): Where Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchoscope.

GA ( n=20 ): Where Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchscope. ;
