Study researchers observed 292 patients with an ASA classification of one or two, who also had a low risk of pulmonary aspiration. The patients received a standardized device insertion during the procedure.
The endoscope and device insertion rate was 99 percent successful with Teleflex’s LMA Gastro Airway with Cuff Pilot.
Teleflex Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine Division President Justin McMurray said, “The LMA Gastro Airway was created in response to a true need for a controlled airway management solution for higher-risk patients undergoing routine upper GI procedures. As the market leader in supraglottic airways, Teleflex continues to develop innovative airway management devices that help advance clinical practice.”
