Research summary
The research project is an evaluation of the I-gel Plus Supraglottic Airway. Device (SAD). The I-gel plus SAD is a new iteration of the I-gel SAD with some changes to the device that may improve efficacy and safety. SADs are routinely used during anaesthesia to maintain and protect a patent airway. The study will evaluate this device in terms of ease of use, safety and postoperative profile. The study will take place in 6 centres, all in Europe, two of which are in Northern Ireland. Recruitment will be of 6000 healthy patients between the ages of 18-89 and the study will exclude patients with risk factors that make use of such a device unadvisable. Duration of the study is expected to be less than one year.
