INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Emergence from general anesthesia with a laryngeal mask airway compared with an endotracheal tube has been shown to favorable with respect to limiting emergence phenomena such as coughing, straining, restlessness, and sympathetic stimulation leading to hypertension and tachycardia. Many anesthesiologists would prefer the use of an ETT to an LMA in cases in which higher ventilation pressures may be required, in those patients who are perceived to be high risk for reflux and pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, as well as during cases that allow the anesthesiologist to have little accessibility the airway. The aim of this study is to investigate an airway management technique that would allow for the benefits of the ETT in terms of a secure airway for the duration of the surgical procedure as well the potential for less emergence phenomena seen when emerging with an LMA.

Interventions
At the discretion of the primary anesthesiologist. Typically involves the administration of an analgesic agent, hypnotic agent, and neuromuscular blocking agent
By standard method. Sizing at the discretion of the primary anesthesiologist.
Via direct or indirect laryngoscopy. Sizing at the discretion of the primary anesthesiologist. Mallinckrodt (TM) Intermediate Hi-Lo cuffed endotracheal tube (Covidien)
Ventilator mode, tidal volume/ ventilation pressure, respiratory rate, positive end expiratory pressure, inspired to expired ratio at the discretion of the primary anesthesiologist.
Either upon emergence of anesthesia after suctioning of the oropharynx and after a positive pressure breath or while deeply anesthetized after release of the pneumoperitoneum in the combined LMA/ETT group.
With ETT using fiberoptic bronchoscope guidance.
After removal of the ETT. Ventilator mode, tidal volume/ ventilation pressure, respiratory rate, positive end expiratory pressure, inspired to expired ratio at the discretion of the primary anesthesiologist.
At the discretion of primary team. Airway device (either ETT or LMA) will be removed when patient is adequately ventilating and able to respond to commands (such as "open your eyes" or "squeeze my hand").
