U.S., Nov. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07928791) titled 'PCV-VG Versus VCV Through the I-gel in Young Children' on Nov. 04.
Brief Summary: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) like the i-gel are frequently used to manage airways during general anesthesia in children. However, delivering positive-pressure mechanical ventilation through a supraglottic airway carries a risk of gas leaking around the cuff into the stomach (gastric insufflation), which can cause stomach distension and increase the risk of regurgitation.
Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) delivers a fixed breath volume, which can cause spikes in peak inspiratory pressure if airway resistance changes, potentially exceeding the d...
