Summary
This study compares three different breathing tube devices (Ambu AuraGain, LarySeal Pro LMA, and i-gel) used in children aged 2-9 years during day surgery. The goal is to see which one provides the best seal, causes fewest complications, and is easiest for doctors to insert. 165 children will take part, and the results will help guide safer anesthesia practices.
