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.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Normal Saline (Rocuronium 0 mg/kg)

    Other intervention

    Normal saline is administered intravenously as the control study drug before video LMA insertion.

  • Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg

    Drug

    Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg (1 × ED95) is administered intravenously before video LMA insertion.

  • Rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg

    Drug

    Rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg (2 × ED95) is administered intravenously before video LMA insertion.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
5 minutes after successful video LMA insertion

Secondary outcomes

1

Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure at Later Time Points

Time frame
15 and 30 minutes after successful video LMA insertion
2

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.

Time frame
During anesthetic induction before surgery, assessed for up to 5 minutes
3

LMA Insertion Time

LMA insertion time will be measured in seconds from mouth opening to confirmation of the first capnographic waveform.

Time frame
During anesthetic induction before surgery, assessed for up to 5 minutes
4

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.

Time frame
Immediately after successful video LMA insertion
