Objective:
This study compares the patient outcomes of video laryngeal mask airway (V-LMA) and non-video laryngeal mask airway (NV-LMA) to assess which is easier for novices to master, achieves faster placement success, and causes least injury to the patients.
Methods:
Twenty novice practitioners (resident doctors/anesthesia nurses) from the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Shanghai Fourth Peoples' Hospital, were randomized 1:1 to the V-LMA or NV-LMA group. After standardized training, the participants performed supervised LMA insertions on 60 patients. The learning outcomes and patient injury rates during LMA placement were compared between the groups.
Results:
Both groups achieved 100% first-attempt success. The V-LMA group demonstrated superior bronchoscope alignment (90% vs. 50%, P = 0.001). Postoperative throat pain was experienced by patients in both groups, but the V-LMA group demonstrated a lower 1-h incidence of postoperative throat pain (20% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.028), with better intraoperative hemodynamic stability.
Conclusion:
When inserted by novice practitioners, the V-LMA improves placement accuracy and reduces patient injury compared with the NV-LMA.
