July 27, 2015 updated by: Narasimhan Jagannathan, Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, risk factors, and complications associated with use of supraglottic airway devices for primary airway maintenance during routine anesthesia in children.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aims to understand the efficacy of supraglottic airway (SGA) use in children in a tertiary care Children's Hospital.

Observational data regarding the type of SGA, experience level of practitioner, placement technique, number of placement attempts or placement failure, device failure, and cause of any related peri-operative complications will be prospectively collected.

The data collected in this study will allow the investigators to assess the overall safety and efficacy of SGA use in various medical and surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia in children.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 day to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Supraglottic Airway Device Failure
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Occurrence and reason for supraglottic airway device failure (ie inadequate ventilation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, etc) will be recorded in addition to conversion to tracheal intubation
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ease of Placement of Supraglottic Airway Device
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Ease of placement of supraglottic airway device ranging from 1 (easy) to 4 (difficult)
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Multiple Attempts to Place Supraglottic Airway Device
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
change in device, placement method, and provider will be recorded
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Airway Maneuvers/interventions
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
the number and type of airway maneuvers performed after device placement and during maintenance will be recorded
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Occurrence of Inadequate Ventilation
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
cause and solution for inadequate ventilation will be recorded
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Intraoperative Complications
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Time period of complication (ie during device placement, maintenance, or removal) and cause of complication (ie. dental injury, light anesthesia, regurgitation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration, etc.) will be recorded
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours
Postoperative Complications
Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and 24 hours postoperatively
Complications noted postoperatively relating to reflex activation of the airway, sore throat, or hoarseness
participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and 24 hours postoperatively
