Brief summary
A comparison of SaCo VLMTM video laryngeal mask airway with the I-gel supraglottic airway during airway management in patients undergoing elective surgery.
Detailed description
The position of the supraglottic airway is checked using a fiberoptic endoscope: The bronchoscope is placed at the opening of the laryngeal mask, and assessed using the following grading system: Grade 1: Vocal cords not visible. Grade 2: Vocal cords and anterior epiglottis visible. Grade 3: Vocal cords and posterior epiglottis visible. Grade 4: Only vocal cords visible.
Interventions
DEVICEa native video image system
The visualization of the glottic structures through the SaCoVLM™ imaging system is graded as follows: Grade1: Visibility of the lateral portion of the right epiglottic fold and part of the laryngeal inlet. Grade 2: Visibility of both epiglottic folds and part of the laryngeal inlet. Grade 3: Visibility of the laryngeal inlet and part of the vocal cords. Grade 4: Visibility of the entire vocal cords.
DEVICEFiberoptic bronchoscope
The position of the i-Gel is checked using a fiberoptic endoscope

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| glottic visualization grades by fiberoptic exam assessment | From anesthesia induction to the end of surgery | Grade 1: vocal cords were not visualizedGrade 2: vocal cords and anterior epiglottis were visualizedGrade 3: vocal cords and posterior epiglottis were visualized Grade 4: vocal cords only were visualized |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intra-operative effectiveness | From anesthesia induction to the end of surgery | Secondary outcomes were evaluated by oropharyngeal sealing pressure, first attempt success rate, insertion time |
