The Effectiveness of Foley Airway Stylet Tool on Proseal LMA Insertion
A study testing Foley Airway Stylet Tool and introducer-tool in people with Anesthesia Insertion Complication and Airway Morbidity, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
Trial summary
Due to its soft cuff easily folded to impede ProSeal LMA insertion, many tools are developed. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficiency of ProSeal LMA insertion guided by a soft, direct optical Foley airway stylet tool (FAST) and compared with the standard introducer-tool (I-Tool).

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Foley group | Experimental | The Foley Airway Stylet Tool was used to guide ProSeal LMA insertion Receives: Device: Foley Airway Stylet Tool |
| I-Tool group | Experimental | the ProSeal LMA was inserted with a standard introducer-tool Receives: Device: introducer-tool |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants with successful airway establishment
successful airway establishment is defined as adequate ventilation with ProSeal LMA and its alignment with viewing of proper glottic and esophageal positions.
Measured: half an hour
Secondary outcomes (2)
postoperative sore throat
sore throat recorded in recovery room and in the coming morning
Measured: 2 days
hoarseness
severity of hoarseness was recorded in recovery room and in the coming morning
Measured: 2 days

What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Foley Airway Stylet Tool and introducer-tool in people with Anesthesia Insertion Complication and Airway Morbidity, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
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 5 inclusion and 3 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 29 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 Taiwan. 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?
Number of participants with successful airway establishment (time frame: half an hour). 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 NCT02048657, 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 29 Jan 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
