Trial summary

We hypothesise that the use of the LMA-Supreme provides greater ease of insertion and reduced haemodynamic variability during insertion compared to the tracheal tube, whilst still maintaining a patent airway to facilitate elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in selected patients.

About this study

Official title: The Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme (TM) is an Effective Alternative to Laryngoscope-guided Tracheal Intubation for Patients Undergoing Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy-- A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

We hypothesise that the use of the LMA-Supreme provides greater ease of insertion and reduced haemodynamic variability during insertion compared to the tracheal tube, whilst still maintaining a patent airway to facilitate elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in selected patients.

Read the detailed description

The Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme(LMA-S) has been used successfully to maintain a patent airway for laparoscopic surgery. Our study compares the use of LMA-S with that of the tracheal tube (ETT) with respect to the ease of insertion and potential haemodynamic disturbance during insertion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Effective Airway

    Time to achieve effective airway was defined as time between removing the face-mask, inserting the airway device and obtaining a sustained square-wave capnograph trace with manual ventilation

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of attempts taken for successful placement of airway device

    Number of attempts needed for successful placement of either the LMA-Supreme or the tracheal tube, as assigned

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Number of attempts taken for successful placement of gastric tube

    Number of attempts needed for successful placement of gastric tube. Correct gastric tube placement was determined by positive suctioning of gastric contents or detection of injected air with epigastric auscultation.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Haemodynamic response to insertion of airway device

    Systolic blood pressure and heart rate at 0 min, 1 min, 5 min, starting from the time the face mask was removed from the patient's face.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 min, 5 min

  4. Peak airway pressure during pneumoperitoneum

    Peak airway pressure recorded during pneumoperitoneum, measured during the surgery

    Measured: Assessed intra-operatively, during the period of pneumoperitoneum

  5. Incidence of post-operative sore throat

    Patients were asked about the presence of sore throat - defined as the presence of constant pain in the throat, independent of swallowing, 1 hr after the end of surgery. No further follow-up.

    Measured: Assessed 1 hr after the surgery, at the Recovery Area

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laryngeal Mask Airway-Supreme and Endotracheal Tube in people with Cholecystitis and Choledocholithiasis, run by Changi General Hospital at 1 site in Singapore.

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 2 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 16 Jan 2014. 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 Singapore. 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?

Time to Effective Airway (time frame: Baseline). 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 16 Jan 2014.
