NCT ID NCT00624403
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial compared two devices used to help patients breathe during surgery: the LMA ProSeal and the I-Gel. Researchers enrolled 700 adults and measured how easily each device was inserted, how well it sealed the airway, and any side effects. The goal was to see if one device works better or causes fewer problems.
