The SafeLM is a video-assisted laryngeal mask that allows visualization during placement, whereas the LMA Classic is a conventional supraglottic airway device. This study is designed to compare the clinical performance of these two devices under standardized conditions.
Adult patients scheduled for elective fibroadenoma excision under general anesthesia will be screened for eligibility. Only patients for whom both devices are considered clinically appropriate will be enrolled, thereby avoiding randomization when patient characteristics indicate a preference for a particular airway management technique. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to airway management with either the SafeLM or the LMA Classic.
After standardized induction of general anesthesia, the assigned laryngeal mask will be inserted according to the study protocol. The primary outcome is oropharyngeal leak pressure after successful placement. Device insertion characteristics, ventilation parameters, hemodynamic responses, and airway-related adverse events will also be evaluated.
