About this study

Official title: Directly Measured Mucosal Pressure for Two Different Extraglottic Airway Devices

In the following randomized non-crossover study, the investigators test the hypothesis that directly measured mucosal pressure differ between the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Supreme and the i-Gel in paralyzed anesthetized females.

Thirty females aged 19-65 years were randomly allocated to receive either the size 4 LMA Supreme or i-Gel for airway management. Microchip sensors were attached to the LMA Supreme/i-Gel at four locations corresponding to the A, base of tongue; B, distal oropharynx; C, hypopharynx; and D, pyriform fossa.

Insertion success rate and oropharyngeal leak pressure were also measured.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme and i-Gel extraglottic airway device in people with Device Induced Injury and Necrosis, Pressure, run by Schulthess Klinik at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Austria, Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pharyngeal mucosal pressure (time frame: every 5 minutes during steady state anesthesia). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2011.
