Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway mask

Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask

Arm Description

Where Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchoscope. After complete muscle relaxation a suitable sized (according to the patient's weight and BMI) Air-Q will be lubricated inserted and the ventilator circuit will be connected to the device to ventilate the patient. The ventilator will be set with tidal volume 4-6 ml/kg at a respiratory rate 12-15 breath/minute to keep normocapnia (ETCO2=30-35 mmHg). Vitals (HR, ABP and O2 saturation) and ET CO2were recorded 5 minutes after device insertion. Then intubation using the fiberoptic bronchoscope will be started through the supraglottic device, laryngeal view grade will be recorded, success of endotracheal intubation through the device and time of intubation (time starting from disconnection of the circuit from the device to use the fiberoptic brochoscope for intubation till tube insertion in the trachea).

Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchscope. After complete muscle relaxation a suitable sized (according to the patient's weight and BMI) Ambu-Aura laryngeal mask will be lubricated inserted and the ventilator circuit will be connected to the device to ventilate the patient. The ventilator will be set with tidal volume 4-6 ml/kg at a respiratory rate 12-15 breath/minute to keep normocapnia (ETCO2=30-35 mmHg). Vitals (HR, ABP and O2 saturation) and ET CO2 will be recorded 5 minutes after device insertion. Then intubation using the fiberoptic bronchoscope will be started through the supraglottic device, laryngeal view grade will be recorded, success of endotracheal intubation through the device and time of intubation (time starting from disconnection of the circuit from the device to use the fiberoptic brochoscope for intubation till tube insertion in the trachea).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

airway seal pressure
Measuring the seal pressure above which the oropharyngeal leak through the supraglottic device will occur (1 minute after confirmation of successful insertion).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Success rate
Success rate of device insertion
arterial blood pressure
systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure. • Stress response related to the device used.
heart rate
• Stress response related to the device used
Laryngeal view grade.
Grade 1: only larynx was seen, Grade 2: larynx plus the posterior surface of epiglottis were seen. Grade 3: larynx and anterior tip of epiglottis were seen with <50% visual obstruction of larynx. Grade 4: epiglottis down folded and its anterior surface were seen with >50% visual field obstruction. Grade 5: complete down folding of epiglottis and the larynx could not be seen directly
Success rate of intubation by fiberoptic bronchoscope
The success of the ventilation will be determined based on visible chest expansion, adequate tidal volume and drawing of 6 successive ETCO2 waves.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Supraglottic airway devices are important tools for airway management. Supraglottic airway devices have been introduced into brief surgical interventions because they are less invasive than intubation and safer than mask to maintain the patency of airway after induction of anesthesia. They are inserted via the oral route and can be used in emergency conditions when tracheal intubation and mask anesthesia are challenging. Air Q intubating airway and Ambu Aura intubating laryngeal mask are two Supraglottic airway devices that are widely used. Aim of the work is to compare Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway versus Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask regarding sealing pressure and Fiberoptic intubation in class II obese patients.
Detailed Description
Randomized comparative trial that will be performed in Kasr Al Ainy hospital, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.ASA II patients from 20 to 50 years of age, undergoing minor surgry were included in this study. 40 patients will be allocated into 2 equal groups using computerized software and enclosed in sealed opaque envelopes: GQ ( n=20 ): Where Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchoscope. GA ( n=20 ): Where Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchscope.
