Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparing leak pressure of LMA® ProSeal™ versus i-gel® at head rotation: a randomized controlled trial.
The effect of head rotation on supraglottic airway (SGA) oropharyngeal leak pressure (OPLP) has not been well elucidated. The aim of this study was to help clarify which SGA device provides higher OPLP at head-rotated position. ⋯ The LMA ProSeal provides higher OPLP than the i-gel at a 60° head-rotated position under general anesthesia.
