Summary

The influence of different head and neck positions on the effectiveness of ventilation with the Ambu AuraGain airway remains unevaluated.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different head and neck positions on ventilation with the AuraGain airway.

AuraGain will be placed in all patients, and mechanical ventilation will be performed using a volume-controlled mode with a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg.

The expiratory tidal volume, peak inspiratory pressure, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and ventilation score will be assessed first for the neutral head position and then for the extended, flexed, and rotated head positions in a random order.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopic view will be also assessed for each head and neck positions.

Conditions

  • General Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Flexion

After changing the position of head and neck of subjects to flexion, the variables were measured.

PROCEDURE

Extension

After changing the position of head and neck of subjects to extension, the variables were measured.

PROCEDURE

Right rotation

After changing the position of head and neck of subjects to right flexion, the variables were measured.
