Intracuff Pressure
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this current study is to compare changes of the intracuff pressure in the newly designed LMA with the older design LMA after insertion of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) probe in pediatric patients and adolescents.
Interventions
DEVICEAmbu LMA
Will be randomized to either the new Gastro LMA or old Ambu LMA for EGD procedure and the intracuff pressure will be measured
DEVICEGastro LMA

Inclusion criteria
* Patients who weigh more than 30 kg * Patients undergoing an EGD * Patients getting an LMA

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive intracuff pressure | as long as the LMA is in place in the OR with usually a max amount of time of 45 minutes | Our primary goal is to compare the incidence of excessive intracuff pressure after EGD probe insertion between the newly designed LMA and the older version LMA. For this primary outcome, we will define excessive intracuff pressure as ≥40 cmH2O. |
