Official title
First-Attempt Insertion Success of a Novel Two-Person Lateral Rotation Technique Versus the Standard Brain Technique for Laryngeal Mask Airway Placement: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if two person lateral rotation technique of LMA insertion is more successful than the standard technique in achieving effective ventilation on the first introduction of the LMA .The main questions it aims to answer are: Does two person lateral rotation technique of LMA insertion lower the number of times needed to inesrt the LMA ? Researchers will compare two person lateral rotation technique of LMA insertion to standard technique to see if it is more successful Participants will be subjected to the two way of LMA insertion
Interventions
- Device LMA insertion by Standard technique
Standard Brain Technique for Laryngeal Mask Airway Placement - Device LMA insertion by Two-Person Lateral Rotation Technique
Novel Two-Person Lateral Rotation Technique of LMA insertion
Primary outcome measures
- First-attempt insertion success rate, defined as successful placement achieving effective ventilation on the first introduction of the LMA into the oral cavity [Time frame: 1 minute after LMA insertion]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Insertion time [Time frame: 20-90 seconds from picking up the LMA to be inserted in the mouth]
- Number of attempts [Time frame: 2-3 minutes after induction of anesthesia]
- Need for manipulations [Time frame: 1-2 minutes after induction of anesthesia]
- Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) [Time frame: 1-2 minutes after insertion of LMA]
- Complications: [Time frame: immediate after removal of LMA ,1,2,4,24 hours. post operative]
