Which breathing tube seals better? study pits video LMA against classic design

NCT ID NCT07688590

First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two devices used to keep the airway open during surgery: the SaCo video laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the ProSeal LMA. The main goal is to measure how well each device seals the airway (oropharyngeal leak pressure) in adults undergoing elective surgery. Researchers will also check how quickly and easily each device can be placed.
