Key result
The laryngeal tube achieved a significantly higher first-attempt insertion success rate compared to the laryngeal mask (84.8% vs 56.1%, P=0.001).
Why the study?
Does the laryngeal tube improve ease of insertion and reduce postoperative airway morbidity compared to the laryngeal mask in paralyzed patients?
Population
Paralyzed patients requiring airway management (n=132)
Comparison
Laryngeal tube (new version) vs Laryngeal mask
Design
RCT, Randomized design
Follow-up
Postoperative

Supports laryngeal tube preference over mask for insertion in paralyzed patients; confirms higher first-attempt success in this RCT.
RCT (n=132)
Does the laryngeal tube improve ease of insertion and reduce postoperative airway morbidity compared to the laryngeal mask in paralyzed patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 84.8% vs 56.1%
p-value: p=0.001
The laryngeal tube provides a safe and effective airway with higher first-attempt insertion success and lower airway morbidity compared to the laryngeal mask.
Mäenpää et al. (2007) conducted an RCT in Airway management in paralysed patients (n=132). Laryngeal tube vs. Laryngeal mask was evaluated on Insertion success rate after the first attempt (p=0.001). The laryngeal tube achieved a significantly higher first-attempt insertion success rate compared to the laryngeal mask (84.8% vs 56.1%, P=0.001).
