Study of Accuracy of Placement and Performance Test in Detecting Supraglottic Airway Placement Compared to Fiberoptic View. Recruited Patients in University Malaya Medical Center, Malaysia, Undergoing General Anesthesia With Supraglottic Airway.

The goal of this cross sectional observational study is to compare the accuracy of placement and performance tests to gold standard method of fiberscope assisted insertion of Supraglottic Airway(SGA) Device for optimal SGA placement, in ASA 1-3 adult patients undergoing general anesthesia in University Malaya Medical Center(UMMC). This study aim to answer: -Can placement and performance tests, ie; Oropharyngeal leak(OPL) test, accurately assess for optimal SGA placement?

The Insertion of I-gel and Classic LMA in Different Head Positions in Elderly Patients

This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical study aims to evaluate the insertion success of two supraglottic airway devices, the classic Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) and the I-gel, in different head and neck positions in elderly patients undergoing elective urological surgery under general anesthesia. A total of 120 patients aged over 75 years with ASA physical status I-III will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: standard position with I-gel, right lateral rotation with I-gel, standard position with classic LMA, and right lateral rotation with classic LMA. The study will compare insertion time, ease and success of placement, number of attempts, hemodynamic responses, oropharyngeal leak pressures, fiberoptic scores, and airway-related complications. The findings aim to provide clinical guidance on the optimal use of supraglottic airway devices in geriatric patients in various head positions.
