Comparison of the Airway Sealing Pressures for Three Different Placement Techniques When Using Lma Proseal in Children
Comparison of the Airway Sealing Pressures for Three Different Placement Techniques When Using Lma Proseal in Children
Our study aimed to compare the manual placement, direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy assisted placement techniques of LMA Proseal, a new generation laryngeal mask (LMA), and to find an effective placement technique that does not allow airway leakage in one go.
LMA is an airway device frequently used in pediatric anesthesia. It is preferred for short interventions because it is less invasive compared to intubation. However, problems such as not being fully seated, slipping, and leakage can be encountered during placement. Multiple attempts after unsuccessful placement may cause undesirable results such as edema and sore throat. The aim in this study is to reveal the most accurate placement technique and to transfer this method to clinical applications.
Our research is a prospective, randomized controlled method study.
Patients will be divided into 3 groups.
Group 1:(Standard technique)
Group 2:(Placement with direct laryngoscopy)
Group 3:(Placement with the aid of video laryngoscopy)
After LMA Proseal placement, airway sealing pressures will be measured with appropriate technique. Airway tightness pressure measurement will be made with the technique accepted in the literature through the sensors in the anesthesia machine.
