A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway With the Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Laryngeal mask airway is a widely used device in routine anesthesia for airway management
during surgery. It consists of a tube with an inflatable cuff that is inserted into the
mouth after induction of general anesthesia. The Proseal Laryngeal mask airway and the
Laryngeal mask airway Supreme are two variants of the Laryngeal mask airway. The laryngeal
mask airway Supreme is a newer version of the laryngeal mask airway.
The research is being done to compare two variants of the laryngeal mask airway: the Proseal
laryngeal mask airway and the Laryngeal mask airway Supreme. This study will determine if
the newer model, the Laryngeal mask airway Supreme, is easier to insert and is better
positioned than the older model, the Proseal laryngeal mask airway. Both models are approved
for use by the FDA, and are routinely used to assure the airway during general anesthesia.
