Use of Stable Airway Management Device in Monitored Anesthesia Care
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine if the Stable Airway Management device (SAM) is safe in maintaining the airway in a stable, non-obstructing position during anesthetic cases requiring monitored anesthesia care (MAC).

Detailed Description
Patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care as part of a procedure will be invited to participate in the study.
The stable airway management (SAM) device is an investigational device used to hold patient's head and airway in a stable position during a MAC procedure. An investigational device means it has not been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study, the SAM will be compared to the standard of anesthesia care which consists of supporting patient's head, neck, and shoulders with pillows and towels when placing them in the correct position for the procedure.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention An investigational device will be used to hold patient's head and airway in a stable position. |
Device: Stable airway management (SAM) device
SAM is positioning device that will maintain patient's head, neck, and therefore their airway in the correct position during their procedure.

No Intervention: Standard of care Pillows and towels will be used to hold patient's head and airway in a stable position. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of apneic events [Up to 6 hours]
Number of apneic events greater than 20 seconds per 15-minute intervals. Total number of events will be reported.
- Conversion to general anesthesia [Up to 6 hours]
Number of participants converted from MAC to general anesthesia for airway-related complications
