About this study

Official title: Is Size 1 I-gel More Effective Than Size 1 ProSeal Laryngeal Mask for Anesthetized Infants and Neonates?

Objective of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to compare the performances of recently-released size 1 I-gel and size 1 PLMA proven to be superior to classical LMA with prospective studies. In this study, primer endpoint was value of airway leak pressure and secondary insertion time, insertion success and conditions, initial airway quality, hemodynamic parameters, fiberoptic view and complications will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Routine monitorization will be performed. Lidocaine 1 mg.kg-1, remifentanil 1 mcg.kg-1 (slow bolus in approximately 1 minute) and 3 mg.kg-1 propofol will be administered in anaesthesia induction.

In Group P, PLMA with fully deflated cuff and applied water-based lubricant, will be inserted using a metal introducer. After insertion, cuff will be inflated with a recommended volume of air and then cuff pressure will be adjusted to 60 cm H2O with manometer.

In Group I, I-gel with its cuff lubricated will be orally inserted along the hard palate until resistance will be felt, as recommended by the manufacturer.

The time between picking up the prepared PLMA (with introducer and deflated cuff) or I-gel and the appearance of the first stable capnographic trace will be recorded as the insertion time. The conditions for insertion will be ere scored according to mouth (1: full, 2: partial, 3: nil), gagging or coughing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), swallowing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), head or limb movement (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), laryngospasm (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: complete) and ease of insertion (1: easy, 2: difficult, 3: impossible).

Fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 3 L.min-1, and after closing the expiratory valve the airway pressure at which an audible leak in the mouth occurred will recorded as the 'Pleak'. When Pleak reach 35 cm H2O, expiratory valve will be opened.

Anatomical position of airway device will viewed by inserting fiberoptic bronchoscope through the ventilation tube.

Complications encountered during and at the end of the operation such as desaturation (sPO2 less than 90%), gastric insufflation, aspiration, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and blood stain on the airway device during removal will be recorded.

    Supraglottic airway device

Study groups in NCT01704118
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
I-gelExperimentalI-gel (Intersurgical Ltd, Wokingham, Berkshire, UK) is a disposable supraglottic airway device with a non-inflatable cuff in which part of that is fixed on glottis is made of thermoplastic elastomer, unlike other laryngeal masks
Receives: Device: I-gel
ProSeal Laryngeal maskActive comparatorProSeal laryngeal mask (PLMA) (LMA North America, Inc., San Diego, USA) is a modified type of LMA (larger and deeper bowl and enlarged and softer cuff) with gastric drainage tube.
Receives: Device: ProSeal Laryngeal mask

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Airway leak pressure

    Fresh gas flow will adjust to 3 L.min-1, and after closing the expiratory valve the airway pressure at which an audible leak in the mouth occurred will be recorded as the 'Pleak'.

    Measured: 1 year (After anesthesia induction)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Insertion time and conditions

    The time between picking up the device and the appearance of the first stable capnographic trace will be recorded as the insertion time. The conditions for insertion were scored according to mouth (1: full, 2: partial, 3: nil), gagging or coughing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), swallowing (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), head or limb movement (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: gross), laryngospasm (1: nil, 2: slight, 3: complete) and ease of insertion (1: easy, 2: difficult, 3: impossible).

    Measured: 1year (During maintainance of anesthesia)

  2. Initial airway quality

    Initial airway quality will be evaluated with manual ventilation by adjusting APL valve to 20 cm H2O. Evaluation will be performed with a scale as excellent (no leaks heard), good/acceptable (a slight, clinically insignificant leak, sufficient ventilation) and poor/unacceptable (significant leak and insufficient ventilation which requires reposition or relocation of device) by listening to lungs, epigastrium and perilaryngeal field and observing the expansion of thorax.

    Measured: During maintainance of anesthesia

  3. Evaluation of fiberoptic view

    The breathing system will be disconnected and fiberoptic bronchoscope will be inserted through the ventilation tube to evaluate glottic view. Fiberoptic images will be recorded by using a digital camera. The images will be graded according to the score of 1 to 5.

    Measured: 1 year (During maintainance of anesthesia)

  4. Complications

    Complications encountered during and at the end of the operation such as desaturation, gastric insufflation, aspiration, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and blood stain on the airway device during removal will be recorded.

    Measured: 1year(During maintainance of anesthesia)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing I-gel and ProSeal Laryngeal mask in people with Laryngeal Masks, run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Airway leak pressure (time frame: 1 year (After anesthesia induction)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01704118, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Oct 2012.
