Comparison of Second- and Third-Generation Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Patients

Sponsor: Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital

Summary

This study compares two airway devices used during general anesthesia in children: a second-generation laryngeal mask (SafeLM LMA) and a third-generation video laryngeal mask (SafeLM Video LMA). Both devices are CE-marked and routinely used in clinical practice. The study will include 90 children aged 2 to 8 years who are scheduled for elective surgery. Children will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (45 per group), and one of the two devices will be placed after anesthesia induction. The main outcome is oropharyngeal leak pressure, which shows how well the mask seals the airway. Other outcomes include success at the first insertion attempt, number of attempts, view of the vocal cords (video group), heart rate and blood pressure changes, and complications such as laryngospasm, low oxygen levels, sore throat, hoarseness, and nausea/vomiting. The study aims to show whether video-guided placement improves airway seal and safety in children.
