Summary

This study compares two common airway devices (i-gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe during surgery. Researchers will check how well each device seals the airway and whether air leaks into the stomach, using ultrasound for safe and accurate measurements. The goal is to find which device works better and safer for children aged 1 to 10 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could help doctors choose the safer and more effective airway device for children during surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (60 children) comparing devices already in use, so it won't lead to a new treatment or cure. Results may not apply to all children or surgeries.
