The AMBU® Aura‐i™ Laryngeal Mask and LMA Supreme™: A Randomized Trial of Clinical Performance and Fibreoptic Positioning in Unparalysed, Anaesthetised Patients by Novices

open access: yesAnesthesiology Research and Practice, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Introduction. Manikin studies’ data cannot accurately be extrapolated to real‐life scenarios and inherent differences in design and materials of newer products may affect their clinical performance. Methods. Hence, we compared the AMBU® Aura‐i™ and LMA Supreme™ in this randomized trial involving 100 ASA 1‐2 unparalysed anaesthetised patients undergoing
