N/ACompletedNCT02048657

Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital140 enrolled

Overview

Due to its soft cuff easily folded to impede ProSeal LMA insertion, many tools are developed. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficiency of ProSeal LMA insertion guided by a soft, direct optical Foley airway stylet tool (FAST) and compared with the standard introducer-tool (I-Tool).
