The Effect of a Laryngeal Mask Airway on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter


Sponsor

Erasmus Medical Center

Enrollment

230 participants

Start Date

Mar 25, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational trial is to study the effect of a laryngeal airway mask on the optic nerve sheath diameter, as a surrogate for intracranial pressure. The optic nerve sheath diameter of participants will be measured under general anesthesia, before, during and after insertion of a laryngeal airway mask.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study examines whether using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA — a breathing device placed over the airway during anesthesia, rather than a tube inserted into the windpipe) affects pressure inside the skull by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (a non-invasive way to detect elevated brain pressure) during surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older, in good to fair health (ASA classification I or II) - You are scheduled for a routine procedure lasting more than 30 minutes under general anesthesia - Your surgery can be safely done with an LMA (not requiring deep breathing tube insertion) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are having head, neck, brain, laparoscopic, or thoracic surgery - Your surgery requires a tilted position (Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg) - You have neurological disorders, glaucoma, or a history of eye trauma in both eyes - You have an intellectual disability Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
