Influence of head rotation on oropharyngeal leak pressure of LMA-Protector<sup>TM</sup> and i-gel® in paralysed, anaesthetised patients: A randomised comparative study. [PDF]
Background and Aims: The most important parameter to provide adequate and safe ventilation for the supralaryngeal airway device (SAD) is its sealing effectivity measured as oropharyngeal leak pressure (OPLP). Various studies have been conducted to elucidate the effects of head extension and flexion on the OPLP of SAD devices ...

A randomized comparison of volume- and pressure-controlled ventilation in children with the i-gel: Effects on peak inspiratory pressure, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and gastric insufflation. [PDF]
The i-gel provides good airway sealing but gastric insufflation may occur when peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) exceeds the sealing pressure of the i-gel without a gastric tube. Pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) provides lower PIP compared with volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and low PIP may reduce the incidence of gastric insufflation in ...

Comparison of LTS-D and i-gel in non-paralyzed pediatric patients under general anesthesia: a randomized trial. [PDF]
Introduction Second-generation supraglottic airway devices, such as the laryngeal tube suction disposable (LTS-D) and i-gel, are widely used in pediatric anesthesia due to advantages such as improved sealing and gastric drainage.

Influence of Different Head and Neck Positions on Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure with the LMA Protector Airway: A Cross-over Study [PDF]
Introduction: The assessment of seal pressure or leak pressure in supraglottic devices has commonly been used to confirm device functionality and for research purposes regarding laryngeal mask airways (LMAs). When used for controlled ventilation, the LMA

Comparison of oropharyngeal leak pressure between the SaCoVLM™ video laryngeal mask and LMA supreme in adult elective surgery patients: a prospective randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) of SaCoVLM™ with that of LMA Supreme. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study enrolled patients aged 18–80 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of classes I and II. The OLP was the primary outcome measure of the study.

Study Objective: Various randomized controlled trials and a meta-analysis have compared i-gel™ and laryngeal mask airway Supreme™ (LMA-S™) in adult patients and found that both the devices provided equivalent oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP). However, no randomized controlled trial has compared air-Q™ with i-gel™ and LMA-S™ in

Efficacy of the New Perilaryngeal Airway (CobraPLA™) Versus the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA™) to Improve Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure in Obese and Overweight Patients. [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of Cobra perilaryngeal airway (Cobra PLA™) for obese patients under general anesthesia and also to compare the results with those of classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA™).Seventy-three overweight and obese patients were included in this study. The patients were randomly assigned to LMA™ or Cobra PLA™ groups.
