The influence of different head and neck positions on the effectiveness of ventilation with the Ambu AuraGain airway remains unevaluated.
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different head and neck positions on ventilation with the AuraGain airway.
AuraGain will be placed in all patients, and mechanical ventilation will be performed using a volume-controlled mode with a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg.
The expiratory tidal volume, peak inspiratory pressure, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and ventilation score will be assessed first for the neutral head position and then for the extended, flexed, and rotated head positions in a random order.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopic view will be also assessed for each head and neck positions.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral | No Intervention | After insertion of Ambu AuraGain™, the variables will be assessed at each positions including neutral, flexion, extension, right rotation under random order. | |
| Flexion | Experimental | After positioning the subjects' neck to flexion, the variables will be assessed. |
|
| Extension | Experimental | After positioning the subjects' neck to extension, the variables will be assessed. |
|
| Right rotation | Experimental | After positioning the subjects' head to right rotation, the variables will be assessed. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flexion | Procedure | After changing the position of head and neck of subjects to flexion, the variables were measured. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Oropharyngeal leak pressure | The airway pressure at which a leak sound is detected around the patient's mouth and at which the airway pressure has reached equilibrium, when the pressure-limiting valve of the anesthesia breathing system is closed and the fresh gas flow rate was fixed at 3 L/min. | 30 seconds after positioning of head and neck |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Peak inspiratory pressure | Peak inspiratory pressure | 30 seconds after positioning of head and neck |
| Expiratory tidal volume | Expiratory tidal volume |
