At King Khalid University hospital approximately 1200-1500 MRI are done yearly on pediatric
and neonatal patients. The investigating hospital is one of the pioneers in providing this
service in the Kingdom (which was established about 10 years ago) to the patients of this age
group. Only a small percentage of pediatric patients with age above 8 years accept the
procedure to be done without anesthesia; and majority of MRI procedures are done under
general anesthesia. The airway management of these patients is commonly accomplished with
laryngeal mask airways (LMA).
LMA are in practice of anesthesia since early 1980s. Pediatric and neonatal patients
(including ex-premature) have also been benefited by the use of LMA. There are many
advantages of LMA over endotracheal tube (ETT) in pediatric patients like ease of insertion,
securing airway rapidly, avoidance of muscle relaxants, reduced incidence of sore throat,
post-operative hoarseness and coughing at the time of extubation, greater hemodynamic and
intra ocular pressure (IOP) stability.
There are different types of pediatric LMAs available e.g. I-gel, ProSeal, LMA supreme, LMA
classic, LMA unique, LarySeal and Ambu. These devices differ morphologically from each other
(silicone, polyvinyl chloride or soft gel). Out of all this variety of LMAs only few are MRI
compatible (do not produce any artifact in the MRI image), for example Ambu LMA and I-gel LMA
and in King Khalid University Hospital (the investigating hospital) these two types are being
used.
On search of literature the investigators found only one study in adults in which such
comparison has been made and there was no study comparing different LMAs on the basis of
their spatial effects on anatomical structures of the neck and airway in pediatric patients
with age 12 years or below.
In this prospective randomized study, the investigators will compare the spatial relationship
of I-gel Trademark (TM) and Ambu® AuraOnce (AO)TM on pediatric airway in pediatric patients
undergoing 3-D MRI under general anesthesia (GA).

| Primary | Effect on tongue | The thickness of the tongue will be defined as the greatest distance between the surface of the tongue and the lower margin of the geniohyoideus muscle measured on sagittal T2 midline images. Scale (mm). | After 2 months | |
| Secondary | Depth of intrusion of the tip of the supraglottic device into the Upper esophageal sphincter | The depth of insertion relative to the glottis will be defined as the perpendicular distance between a horizontal line through the level of the glottis and a parallel line touching the tip of the supraglottic device on sagittal images. Scale (mm). | After 2 months | |
| Secondary | Effect of Supraglottic devices on hyoid bone | The position of the hyoid bone relative to cervical spine will be determined by measuring the shortest distance between the dorsal margin of the hyoid bone and the ventral margin of the opposing vertebra body. Scale (mm). | After 2months | |
| Secondary | Effect of Supraglottic devices on glottic area | The glottic area and the axial diagonal of the glottis will be measured on axial T1 slices at the narrowest part of the glottis after the images has been reoriented to be parallel to the vocal cords and the enclosed glottic area. Scale (mm). | After 2 months | |
| Secondary | Effect of Supraglottic devices on distance between common carotids | The distance between the common carotids will be defined as the distance between the medial margins of the common carotid arteries measured on the same axial T1 section used to determine the glottic area. Scale (mm). | After 2 months | |
| Secondary | Effect of Supraglottic devices on the distance between the arytenoids | The distance between the arytenoid cartilages will be measured on an axial T1 plane realigned as described above, with the points of measurement being the most medial part of the vocal process. Scale (mm) | After 2 months |
