About this study

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is widely used in dental surgery as it provides an unobstructed airway and provides a reliable seal from bleeding and surgical debris. However, there have been few studies of the integrity of the LMA seal during intraoperative surgical manipulation with the use of the LMA.

In general anesthesia using LMA, airway and esophagus cannot be separated completely. Insufficient airway seal become the risk of aspiration in airway management. This study will focus on airway seal following LMA use in dental surgery.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • NUH patients who will undergo wisdom teeth extraction.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with tooth braces
  • Patients who are at risk of aspiration
  • Patients with missing any of incisor tooth
  • Pregnant woman
  • Non-English speaking patients

Treatment and study plan

Laryngeal Mask

Device

General anaesthesia using LMA will be performed as per standard procedure. A pressure gauge will be connected to the LMA using a small cable to measure the LMA cuff pressure continuously.
