About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of the LMA Supreme Supraglottic Airway Device When Used for Adult Patients Undergoing Spinal Surgery in the Prone Position

This study is a non-randomized, observational, non-comparative prospective study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and performance of the LMA Supreme laryngeal mask airway when used according to the device's Instructions for Use.

Read the detailed description

This study is a non-randomized, observational, non-comparative prospective study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and performance of the LMA Supreme laryngeal mask airway when used according to the device's Instructions for Use. During surgery, standard treatment will be applied, complemented with the recording of study parameters related to safety, efficacy and performance of the LMA Supreme laryngeal mask airway.

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

  • LMA SupremeDevice

    Placement of the LMA Supreme supraglottic airway device for patients undergoing outpatient spine surgery in the prone position.

Study groups in NCT03633942
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Observational: LMA SupremeAn appropriately sized LMA Supreme will be prepared by removing all air from the cuff while applying manual pressure. A water soluble non-local anesthetic containing lubricant gel will be applied to the fully deflated airway before insertion. A 1 cm column of the gel will be preloaded into the gastric port of the LMA Supreme for the Gel Test. The cuff will be inflated with a manometer to a pressure of approximately 30cm H2O. If a significant leak is detected, the cuff will be inflated in increments of 5cm H2O until a satisfactory seal is obtained. The final cuff pressure will be recorded. The lungs will then be gently inflated by applying manual pressure to the anesthesia circuit bag while observing the gel column in the LMA Supreme gastric port for movement.
Receives: Device: LMA Supreme

What is being measured

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

  1. The efficacy of the LMA Supreme device as assessed by measurement of ventilation on Case Report Form 1

    Outcome being measured intraoperatively is the ease of manual ventilation via the LMA Supreme. Measuring, no air leaks, air leak / elevated airway pressure needed for adequate ventilation, removal and reinsertion needed to achieve adequate ventilation, no ventilation after 2 attempts (airway managed using alternative techniques

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. The efficacy of the LMA Supreme device as assessed by measurement of ease of swallowing on Case Report Form 2

    Outcome being measured preoperatively and at 4 weeks +/- 5 days is the Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Short Questionnaire. Measuring the ability to swallow (any difficulty in swallowing), incorrect swallowing (any coughing associated with swallowing), lump feeling (any lumps in the throat), involuntary loss of weight (any weight loss recently), Pneumonia (any bouts with pneumonia).

    Measured: Preoperative and up to 4 weeks (+/- 5 days) postoperative

  3. The efficacy of the LMA Supreme device as assessed by measurement of removal of the LMA Supreme Device on Case Report Form 1

    Outcome being measured intraoperatively is any blood on the LMA upon removal. Measuring if there is minimal or no blood, blood covering less than one fourth of the LMA or blood on at least one half of the LMA surface.

    Measured: Intraoperative

  4. The efficacy of the LMA Supreme device as assessed by measurement of any intraoperative episodes developing reporting outcomes on Case Report Form 1

    Outcome being measured intraoperatively is did patient develop any intraoperative episodes of laryngospasm, hiccups, or coughing.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dysphagia Short Questionnaire

    Instrument used to measure difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).

    Measured: Preoperative and up to 4 weeks postoperative (+/- 5 days).
