About this trial
This prospective, randomized, double-blind study aims to evaluate the effect of different degrees of neuromuscular blockade on the performance of a video laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during general anesthesia. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive rocuronium at 0, 0.3, or 0.6 mg/kg, corresponding to 0, 1, or 2 times the ED95, respectively. The primary outcome is oropharyngeal leak pressure measured after LMA insertion. Secondary outcomes include LMA insertion conditions, insertion time and number of attempts, laryngeal view, respiratory parameters, and postoperative airway-related complications.

Treatments tested in this trial
Normal Saline (Rocuronium 0 mg/kg)
Other interventionNormal saline is administered intravenously as the control study drug before video LMA insertion.
Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg
DrugRocuronium 0.3 mg/kg (1 × ED95) is administered intravenously before video LMA insertion.
Rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg
DrugRocuronium 0.6 mg/kg (2 × ED95) is administered intravenously before video LMA insertion.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure (OLP)
Oropharyngeal leak pressure will be measured 5 minutes after successful video LMA insertion and compared among the three neuromuscular blockade groups. OLP is expressed in cmH2O.
Secondary outcomes
Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure at Later Time Points
Number of LMA Insertion Attempts
The number of attempts required for successful video LMA insertion will be recorded. A maximum of two insertion attempts is permitted. Failure will be recorded if successful insertion is not achieved after two attempts.
LMA Insertion Time
LMA insertion time will be measured in seconds from mouth opening to confirmation of the first capnographic waveform.
Laryngeal View Grade
The laryngeal view obtained through the video LMA will be graded on a 4-point scale. The need for real-time adjustment and any change in laryngeal view after adjustment will also be recorded.
