Comparing two airway devices for minor urological procedures under general anesthesia

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 randomized comparative study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of two laryngeal mask airway devices, the iGel and the Protector, during minor urological procedures in adult patients under general anesthesia. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the iGel or the Protector device. The study aims to assess not only the performance of these devices but also any unwanted effects that may arise during the procedures. By comparing these two devices, the study seeks to determine which one provides better airway management in this specific surgical context.
