Brief summary

The intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable is a new version of the Laryngeal Tube-Suction. It has a ventilator channel with a 13.5mm internal diameter, which enables the passage of an Endotracheal Tube with fiberoptic guidance. This study was designed to assess the Time fiberoptic endotracheal intubation using iLTS-D, in comparison with the and Ambu® AuraGain™ in adult patients.

Detailed description

The intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable is a new version of the Laryngeal Tube-Suction. It has a ventilator channel with a 13.5mm internal diameter, which enables the passage of an Endotracheal Tube with fiberoptic guidance. This study was designed to assess the Time of fiberoptic endotracheal intubation using iLTS-D, in comparison with the and Ambu® AuraGain™ in adult patients. Detailed Description: The intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable (iLTS-D) (VBM Medizintechnik GmbH, Sulz, Germany) is a new updated version of the Laryngeal Tube-Suction Disposable (LTS-D) It has a ventilator channel with a 13.5mm internal diameter, which enables the passage of an Endotracheal Tube (ETT) with fiberoptic guidance. Similarly as in to the LTS-D, the iLTS-D also has a separate channel for the purpose of placement of gastric tubes placement up to a size of 18 Fr. The iLTS-D comes in one size. According to the depth of insertion, this device is equivalent to size 4 for patients height 175 to 190 cm tall, or size 5 for patients taller than 190 cm. The iLTS-D is provided by the manufacturer with a compatible 7.5 mm ETT and with a plastic stabilizer for removal of the device. The current randomized study was designed to assess the success rate fiberoptic endotracheal intubation using iLTS-D, in comparison with the and Ambu® AuraGain™ in adult patients under general anesthesia
