Self-pressurized air-Q ® intubating laryngeal airway versus the LMA ® Classic™: a randomized clinical trial

ConclusionsThe air-Q SP had similar leak pressures but a faster insertion time and superior bronchoscopic viewing grade when compared with the LMA Classic. The air-Q SP is a suitable alternative to the LMA Classic in adult patients and may be a superior conduit for tracheal intubation.Trial registrationwww.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02206438).
