Surgery safety test: which airway mask best blocks stomach acid?

NCT ID NCT06527352

Summary

This study compared two different shapes of airway masks used to help patients breathe during surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers wanted to see if a newer 'tulip-shaped' mask was better than the standard design at preventing stomach acid from leaking up into the throat, which is a known risk. They measured acid levels on the masks and other factors in 72 adult patients having surgery.
