Fibre-optic Guided Tracheal Intubation Through Supraglottic Airway Devices - a Randomised Comparison Between I-gel and the LMA ProtectorTM
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating I-gel and LMA Protector for Intubation; Difficult or Failed and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The study aims to establish which of the two second generation Supraglottic Airway Devices, the I-gel or the the laryngeal ask airway (LMA) Protector, is best suited to be used as a conduit to fibreoptic bronchoscope assisted tracheal intubation. The primary outcome of this will be the time to complete the tracheal intubation.
