Randomized Controlled Trial
Ambu® Aura Gain™ versus Ambu® Aura Once™ in children: a randomized, crossover study assessing oropharyngeal leak pressure and fibreoptic position.
The Ambu® Aura Gain™ is a new second-generation supraglottic airway device that-because of a wider curvature and a wide airway tube-allows fibreoptic intubation. The purpose of this study was to assess the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the Ambu® Aura GainTM compared with the Ambu® Aura Once™. ⋯ We conclude that Ambu® Aura Gain™ is a good alternative to the Ambu® Aura Once™ and an efficient device for children in this age group.
