A Comparison of the LMA Unique and LMA Supreme in Children

Completed

Conditions studied: Children

In brief

The goal of this study is to compare the LMA Unique and LMA Supreme in children having surgery. We hypothesize that the airway leak pressures with the LMA Supreme will be superior to the LMA Unique. Airway leak pressures will be measured by recording the circuit pressure at which equilibrium is reached. The ease of placement, fiberoptic grade of laryngeal view, feasibility of use, and complications (airway related, gastric insufflation, trauma) will also be assessed.
