About this study

Official title: Effect of Laryngeal Mask Airway on Image Quality n Pediatric Patients Undergoing Magnetic Resonant Imaging: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study compare the effects of Oral airway vs LMA in preventing anesthesia-induced partial airway obstruction, in an attempt to lessen MRI motion artifacts, which would result in improvements in image quality.

Read the detailed description

Magnetic resonance image (MRI) is a frequently used imaging technique especially in oncological patients, where it is used for diagnosis, following up response to treatment and later for detection of possible recurrence. The main problem encountered with MRI is the long time required for completion of the imaging, during which the patient is required to lie still. Patients who are unable to lie still require sedation or general anesthesia (GA). Almost all pediatric patients are uncooperative, making GA, the standard of care for pediatric MRI.

Several general anesthetic techniques including airway management by endotracheal tube \& various supraglottic devices (LMA) have been described. Choice of technique by anesthesiologist is influenced by the patient's age, craniofacial and airway anatomy, procedure duration, \& illness acuity.

Being tested
guedel airway, supraglottic airway, propofol bolus and then anesthesia sevoflurane

What participants receive

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

  • guedel airwayDevice

    Anesthesia will be conducted by induction with 1-2

    • Mg/kg of an IV propofol bolus and then anesthesia is maintained with an inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane 2%-4%. The goal is to maintain the patient spontaneous ventilation throughout the procedure. Monitoring of the patients is done by MRI compatible pulse oximetry for heart rate and oxygen saturation which is connected to MRI control room.
  • supraglottic airwayDevice

    supraglottic airway

  • propofol bolus and then anesthesia sevofluraneDrug

    Mg/kg of an IV propofol bolus and then anesthesia is maintained with an inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane 2%-4%

Receives: Device: guedel airway; Drug: propofol bolus and then anesthesia sevoflurane

What is being measured

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

  1. Image quality of each MRI sequence

    Image quality of each MRI sequence is evaluated by using a scoring system with the following scores: score of 1 (non-diagnostic), score of 2 (poor quality but some diagnostic value), score of 3 (average), score of 4 (good), and score of 5 (excellent).

    Measured: During general anesthesia of MRI investigation procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing guedel airway, supraglottic airway and propofol bolus and then anesthesia sevoflurane in people with Airway Obstruction, run by National Cancer Institute, Egypt at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 3 May 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Image quality of each MRI sequence (time frame: During general anesthesia of MRI investigation procedure). 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 3 May 2022.
