Comparing two airway devices for anesthesia placement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study compares the learning curves associated with the I-gel and Protector laryngeal mask airway devices. Anesthesiology residents will perform placements of these devices in adult patients to evaluate their effectiveness and ease of use. The study focuses on understanding how quickly and efficiently residents can learn to use each device during procedures. By analyzing the performance of both devices, the study aims to identify which one may be more beneficial for training purposes.
