The Effect of EGD Scope Insertion on the Intracuff Pressure of a New, Modified LMA in Children

Jason Bryant200 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this current study is to compare changes of the intracuff pressure in the newly designed LMA with the older design LMA after insertion of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) probe in pediatric patients and adolescents.

Interventions

Ambu LMADEVICE

Will be randomized to either the new Gastro LMA or old Ambu LMA for EGD procedure and the intracuff pressure will be measured

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Excessive intracuff pressure

Our primary goal is to compare the incidence of excessive intracuff pressure after EGD probe insertion between the newly designed LMA and the older version LMA. For this primary outcome, we will define excessive intracuff pressure as ≥40 cmH2O.

Time frame: as long as the LMA is in place in the OR with usually a max amount of time of 45 minutes
