About this study

Official title: A Randomized Prospective Controlled Trial Comparing the Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable and the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway: The Influence of Head and Neck Position on Oropharyngeal Seal Pressure

The investigators study compared the Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable with the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway, hypothesizing that the two devices would provide adequate oropharyngeal seal pressure in different head and neck positions and perform similarly during pressure controlled ventilation in neutral position, despite differences in their structural design.

Read the detailed description

Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable, LTS-D (VBM Medizintechnik GmbH , Sulz, Germany) and Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway, SLMA (Intavent Orthofix, Maidenhead, UK) are second generation, single-use, supraglottic airway devices( SADs), with added gastric access, for use in spontaneously and mechanically ventilated patients undergoing general anesthesia.

The effectiveness of the LTS-D and the SLMA has been well established; however, the oropharyngeal seal pressure of both devices in different head/neck positions and the performance of these devices using positive pressure ventilation have not been evaluated. Changing the head/neck position can alter the sealing capabilities of the SAD.

To the investigators best knowledge there are no studies comparing the oropharyngeal seal pressure in different head and neck position when using these devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome oropharyngeal seal pressures, in cm H2O

    Oropharyngeal leak pressure was determined by closing the expiratory valve of the anesthesia breathing system and a fixed gas flow of the 3 liters minute. The airway pressure at which an equilibrium was reached was noted( maximun allowed 40 cm H2O)

    Measured: 5 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Fiberoptic position

    Scoring system of the fiberoptic view: ranged from grade 4 (full view of arytenoids and glottis), 3 (arytenoids and glottis partly visible), 2 (view of arytenoids, glottis or epiglottis), and 1 (no part of larynx identifiable).

    Measured: 5 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway and Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable in people with Adverse Anesthesia Outcome, run by Bnai Zion Medical Center.

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 5 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Primary outcome oropharyngeal seal pressures, in cm H2O (time frame: 5 min). 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 NCT02856672, 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 5 Aug 2016.
