Ambu AuraOnce Versus Ambu AuraGain LM in Children

June 20, 2016 updated by: ChristianKeller, Schulthess Klinik

Laryngeal Mask Ambu AuraOnce Versus Laryngeal Mask Ambu AuraGain in Non-paralysed, Anesthetized Children: A Randomized, Crossover Study Assessing Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure and Fiberoptic Position

The investigators test the hypothesis that oropharyngeal leak pressure and fiberoptic position differ between the size 2 LM Ambu AuraOnce and the LM Ambu AuraGain in non-paralyzed anaesthetized pediatric patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Oropharyngeal leak pressure
Ambu AuraOnce
Oropharyngeal leak pressure was determined by closing the expiratory valve of the anaesthesia breathing system and a fixed gas flow of 3 l minute-1. The airway pressure at which an equilibrium was reached was noted (maximum allowed 40 cm H2O).
Experimental: Fiberoptic position
Ambu AuraGain
The airway tube view was scored using an established scoring system (4=only vocal cords visible; 3=vocal cords plus posterior epiglottis; 2=vocal cords plus anterior epiglottis; 1=vocal cords not seen)
