The Articulated Oral Airway as an Aid to Mask Ventilation, a Prospective Interventional, Non-Inferiority Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Articulated Oral Airway and Guedel oral airway (active comparator) for Mask Ventilation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Articulating Oral Airway (AOA) is a novel oral airway which actively displaces the tongue, allowing for a greater cross-sectional area for mask ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that, in patients with predictors for difficult mask ventilation, the AOA will be non-inferior to the Geudel oral airway in terms of expired tidal volumes.

Interventions
The AOA is a novel device which actively displaces the tongue, allowing for a greater cross-sectional area for mask ventilation. The AOA will be evaluated for efficacy of mask ventilation.
The Guedel oral airway is a standard oral airway commonly used to facilitate mask ventilation. The Guedel oral airway will be evaluated for efficacy of mask ventilation.
