Study Summary

The air-Q Self-Pressurizing Intubating Laryngeal Airway (aILA SP) is a modification of the air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway (aILA). Besides the i-gel, it is the only breathing tube that sits above the vocal cords that does not require inflation of a cuff with air. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of the aILA-SP to maintain patency of a patient's airway during general anesthesia with that of the aILA and i-gel devices. As a measure of this ability, we hypothesized that the airway sealing pressures will be equal between the aILA-SP and aILA, but superior when comparing the aILA-SP to the i-gel (i-gel will be lower).

Primary Outcome

Airway seal pressure is defined as the pressure in cmH2O at which the needle of a manometer attached to the anesthesia circuit reaches equilibration, associated with an audible air leak from the subject's oropharynx or gastric insufflation, limited to a maximum pressure of 40 cmH2O. It is measured with the subject's head and neck in neutral position, the expiratory valve on the anesthesia machine closed, and the fresh gas flow set to five liters per minute.
