Ambu Aura-i and Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airways as a Conduit for Tracheal Intubation in Children

Prospective Randomized Comparison of the Ambu Aura-i and Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airways as a Conduit for Tracheal Intubation in Children

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a clinically relevant difference in time to tracheal intubation when using fiberoptic bronchoscope as a guide to intubate through the Ambu Aura-i or air-Q ILA.

Detailed description

The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare the Ambu Aura-i and air-Q ILA in children with normal airway anatomy, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of fiberoptic tracheal intubation through these two devices. The ease of placement, fiberoptic grade of laryngeal view, time to tracheal intubation, time for device removal after intubation, and peri-operative complications will also be assessed.

Conditions

• Tracheal Intubation in Children

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ambu Aura-i size 1.5	Device will be placed and fiberoptic tracheal intubation will be performed and timed. Laryngeal grade of view will also be assessed
DEVICE	air-Q ILA size 1.5	Device will be placed and fiberoptic tracheal intubation will be performed and timed. Laryngeal grade of view will also be assessed
DEVICE	Ambu Aura-i size 2	Device will be placed and fiberoptic tracheal intubation will be performed and timed. Laryngeal grade of view will also be assessed
DEVICE	air-Q ILA size 2	Device will be placed and fiberoptic tracheal intubation will be performed and timed. Laryngeal grade of view will also be assessed
