Brief summary
This study aims to compare the learning curves of two different laryngeal mask airway devices, by evaluating their placement in adult patients performed by anesthesiology residents
Interventions
DEVICELMA Igel
adults allocated to the LMA Igel group, an LMA Igel device will be inserted intraoperatively
DEVICELMA Protector
adults allocated to the LMA Protector group, an LMA Protector device will be inserted intraoperatively

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The time required for successful placement of the device | Measured from the moment the clinician picks up the LMA device after induction of general anesthesia until the appearance of the first capnography waveform on the monitor with a maximum duration of 60 seconds per attempt and up to three attempts allowed |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Documentation of adverse events during placement | During the placement attempt |
