Summary

The investigators plan to conduct a randomized trial comparing the efficacy of intubating the tracheal using an Aintree intubation catheter through either the LMA-S or I-gel supraglottic devices

Detailed description

With the proposal, the investigators are comparing two different types of supraglottic devices. One is the LMA Supreme (laryngeal mask airway) and the other is the I-gel. The study is designed to use the supraglottic airway device as an adjunct to tracheal intubation, not as the definitive airway. The investigators will be utilizing the Aintree intubation catheter over the fiberoptic bronchoscope in an effort to secure the airway. This technique has been well described in the literature and has been proven effective and safe.

Conditions

• Difficult Intubation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	LMA-Supreme supraglottic device	The fiberscope (with the Aintree loaded on top of it) will be advanced through the supraglottic device into the trachea. Next, the supraglottic device will be removed and the endotracheal tube will be advanced into the airway over the Aintree airway intubation catheter. Finally, the Aintree catheter is removed and the endotracheal tube will be left in the airway.
DEVICE	I-gel supraglottic device	The fiberscope (with the Aintree loaded on top of it) will be advanced through the supraglottic device into the trachea. Next, the supraglottic device will be removed and the endotracheal tube will be advanced into the airway over the Aintree airway intubation catheter. Finally, the Aintree catheter is removed and the endotracheal tube will be left in the airway.
