Ventilation Safety in Beach Chair Shoulder Surgery: SafeLM Versus I-gel

Comparison of SafeLM™ Video Laryngeal Mask and I-gel® for Ventilation Safety After Transition to Beach Chair Position in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

Sponsor

Ankara City Hospital Bilkent

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Apr 15, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Airway Management Shoulder Surgery General Anesthetic Supraglottic Airway

Summary

This study aims to compare the performance of SafeLM™ video laryngeal mask airway and i-gel® supraglottic airway device in patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the beach chair position under general anesthesia. The primary objective is to evaluate oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) within the first 10 minutes after transition to the beach chair position. Secondary objectives include assessment of ventilation safety, need for airway interventions, and postoperative airway-related complications. This prospective randomized study will provide data on the effectiveness and safety of a video-guided supraglottic airway device compared to a conventional device in a clinically challenging position.
