Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two types of supraglottic airways (SGA), the Ambu® Aura-I and the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA), regarding time to intubate, ease of insertion, sealing properties, optical view upon fiberoptic examination regarding the Ambu Aura-I, ease and success rate of intubation, airway morbidity, and patient comfort in patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery.
