About this study

Official title: The 3 cm of Head Elevation Provides Higher Insertion Success Than do the 6 cm of it for ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion in Adult Patients

Background - The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the success and pharyngeal trauma when 3 or 6 cm height of pillow is used for the ProSealTM laryngeal mask airway insertion

Methods

  • This prospective randomized, controlled study included 80 adult patients . In the 3 cm (n=40) or 6 cm group (n=40), the PLMA was inserted while the head is placed on the 3 cm or 6 cm height of pillow. The success rate at first and second attempt, insertion time, blood staining on cuff, sore throat and hoarseness were assessed.
Read the detailed description

Background: The "sniffing position" (i.e., the neck flexed and head extended by means of a pillow) eases tracheal intubation because the three axes, namely, the axis of the mouth, the pharyngeal axis and the laryngeal axis, are put in almost a straight line. The benefit of the sniffing position that align three axis could possibly be applicable when the ProSeal LMA is inserted. For the endotracheal intubation, it has been recommended to elevate the patient's head 8 to 10 cm with pads under the occiput (shoulder remaining on the table) and extend the head at the atlanto-occipital joint to align the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes such that the passage and line of vision from the lips to the glottic opening are most nearly a straight line.

There have been several clinical studies about the effect of head and neck position including neutral, flexion or extension on the ease of LMA insertion.

However, it has not been much recommended or investigated about the influence of head elevation on the insertion success of PLMA until now. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the success and pharyngeal trauma when 3 or 6 cm height of pillow is used for the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway insertion in adult patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Insertion of ProSeal laryngeal mask airwayDevice

    The patient's head was placed on the 3 cm or 6 cm height of a pillow in supine and PLMA was inserted using a standard method in the sniffing position.

    The success rate at first and second attempt, insertion time, Seal pressure, hemodynamic variables, complications(blood staining on cuff, sore throat and hoarseness) were assessed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insertion of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in people with Anesthesia, run by National Medical Center, Seoul at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 7 Aug 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

insertion success rate (time frame: 2013.11 - 2014.12). 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 NCT02058030, 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 7 Aug 2015.
