Which airway device works best for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery? a Head-to-Head trial
NCT ID NCT07707440
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two second-generation supraglottic airway devices—the I-Gel and the LMA Protector—in patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal under low-flow anesthesia. Researchers measure breathing mechanics, oxygen levels, and complication rates to see which device performs better. The trial includes 62 adults aged 18–65 with low surgical risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- I-Gel and LMA Protector supraglottic airway devices
- What this could lead to
- If one device proves superior, it could guide anesthesiologists in choosing the best airway tool for patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 62 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. The devices are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.
