Comparison of the clinical performance of the flexible laryngeal mask airway in pediatric patients under general anesthesia with or without a muscle relaxant: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
, 2019 Background The insertion of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is difficult in children due to the unique features of their airways. Muscle relaxants have been reported to facilitate LMA insertion in adults; however, there is a lack of evidence supporting ...

Application of PEEP using the i-gel during volume-controlled ventilation in anesthetized, paralyzed patients [PDF]
, 2013 PURPOSE: This prospective, randomized trial was designed to assess whether the i-gel supraglottic airway device is suitable for volume-controlled ventilation while applying positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH(2)O under general anesthesia. It

Comparison of oropharyngeal leak pressure between the Ambu® AuraGain™ and the LMA® Supreme™ supraglottic airways: a randomized-controlled trial [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2018 Studies comparing the recently introduced Ambu® AuraGain™ (Auragain) with the LMA® Supreme™ (Supreme) supraglottic airway (SGA) have reported conflicting results regarding differences in oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP). This randomized-controlled trial investigated the OLP of the Auragain compared with the Supreme in patients undergoing ambulatory ...

Changes in Position and Intraabdominal Pressure do not Influence Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure in Laparoscopic Surgery Maintained with a ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2005 Background: It is known that pneumoperitoneum and changes of body position during laparoscopic surgery influenced peak inspiratory pressure (PIP). We asked the question whether oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) is changed by changes in intraabdominal pressure and position during laparoscopic surgery with a ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA).

Clinical efficacy of the classic laryngeal mask airway in elderly patients: a comparison with young adult patients [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015 BackgroundThe elderly have been reported to show anatomical and physiologic changes in the upper airway, which might affect the supraglottic airway (SGA) performance in geriatric populations.

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1998 We studied the size 4 laryngeal mask airway (LMA) to test the hypothesis that oropharyngeal leak pressure and fibreoptic position improves with increasing cuff volume. After LMA insertion, 50 anaesthetized adult patients had the cuff inflated in 5-ml increments to 40 ml.

Endotracheal tube cuff pressure in three hospitals, and the volume required to produce an appropriate cuff pressure [PDF]
, 2004 Background Cuff pressure in endotracheal (ET) tubes should be in the range of 20–30 cm H2O. We tested the hypothesis that the tube cuff is inadequately inflated when manometers are not used. Methods With IRB approval, we studied 93 patients under general

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1999 We have compared ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, directly measured pharyngeal mucosal pressure and anatomical position (assessed fibreoptically) for the size 4 and size 5 laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in 20 male and 20 female patients. Microchip pressure sensors were attached to the LMA at locations corresponding to the piriform fossa ...
