Abstract EN
We conducted a randomised single-blind controlled trial comparing the LMA-Unique (LMAU) and the AMBU AuraOnce (AMBU) disposable laryngeal mask in spontaneously breathing adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia.
Eighty-two adult patients (ASA status I–IV) were randomly allocated to receive the LMAU or AMBU and were blinded to device selection.
Patients received a standardized anesthetic and all airway devices were inserted by trained anaesthetists.
Size selection was guided by manufacturer recommendations.
All data were collected by a single, unblinded observer.
When compared with the LMAU, the AMBU produced significantly higher airway sealing pressures (AMBU 20±6; LMAU 15±7 cm H2O; P=0.001).
There was no statistical difference between the two devices for overall success rate, insertion time, number of adjustments, laryngeal alignment, blood-staining, and sore throat (P≥0.05).
The AMBU AuraOnce disposable laryngeal mask provided a higher oropharyngeal leak pressure compared to the LMA Unique in spontaneously breathing adult patients.
