A Comparison of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Supreme and I-gel in Children

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Laryngeal Masks in Children

In brief

The aim of this randomized prospective study is to compare two single-use laryngeal mask airways with a provision of a gastric drain tube allowing for evacuation of gastric contents, the i-gel and the LMA Supreme, in pediatric patients undergoing positive pressure ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that airway leak pressures with the i-gel will not be significantly different clinically (higher) when compared with the LMA Supreme.
