Sponsor: Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
Summary
The aim of this randomized prospective study is to compare two single-use laryngeal mask airways the LMA Unique and the LMA Supreme, in pediatric patients. The investigators hypothesize that airway leak pressures with the LMA Supreme will be superior to the LMA Unique.

Interventions
LMA Unique: control device
LMA Unique will be placed in children based on a computer generated randomization. One of four different sizes of airways will be used: 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5. The size of the airway device will be determined according to the manufacturer's guidelines that are standardized by the patient's weight in kilograms.
LMA Supreme: comparison device
LMA Supreme will be placed in children based on a computer generated randomization. One of four different sizes of airways will be used: 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5, The size of the airway device will be determined according to the manufacturer's guidelines that are standardized by the patient's weight in kilograms.
