U.S., Oct. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07868848) titled 'Effect of Laryngeal Mask Cuff Shape on Pharyngeal Stress' on Sept. 28.
Brief Summary: Laryngeal masks are widely used supraglottic airway devices, but their cuffs differ considerably in shape and design. The cuff exerts pressure on the pharyngeal structures, which may provoke a physiological stress response and contribute to postoperative pharyngeal complaints. This prospective, randomized, two-centre trial compares three commercially available laryngeal masks with different cuff designs (SaCoVLM, LMA Supreme and Ambu AuraGain) in 162 adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Anaesthesia induction is stan...
