Randomized Comparison of Ambu AuraGain and Teleflex Protector Using Clinical and Fiberoptic Assessments in Elective Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ambu AuraGain, Teleflex LMA Protector, and 1 other intervention for Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Participant is being asked to take part in this study because participant is going to have surgery that requires general anesthesia (in which participant is unconscious for the procedure). During surgery, anesthesiologists often place a supraglottic airway device (SGAD). An SGAD is a device that helps participant breathe and may help the anesthesiologist put a breathing tube in participant's airway while participant is asleep during surgery. There are many different kinds of SGADs that are readily available for use by anesthesiologists during surgery. The SGADs that are being studied are the Ambu Auragain and the Teleflex LMA Protector. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effectiveness of both devices. This is an investigational study. Both of the SGADs that are being used on this study are FDA approved and are frequently used for the surgery that participant is going to have. It is investigational to compare the 2 devices. Up to 50 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Pre-curved, rigid airway tube, SGAD. Third generation Ambu laryngeal mask satisfying 3 fundamental airway management needs by integrating gastric access and intubation capability in an anatomically curved single-use device that facilitates rapid establishment of a safe airway. A SGAD used for ventilation, and a conduit for intubation. SGAD insertion followed by fiber-optic evaluation using Ambu aScope.
Pre-curved, rigid airway tube, SGAD: A next-generation, single-use laryngeal mask with a dual gastric drainage channel and pharyngeal chamber. A SGAD used for ventilation, and a conduit for intubation. SGAD insertion followed by fiber-optic evaluation using Ambu aScope.
Flexible scope which will be introduced into airway tube and guided through the SGAD until it will be possible to view the vocal cords. Description of the maximal optical view will be measured by the Percentage of Glottic Opening (POGO).
