Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeQuality of life
Scientific title
Study acronymPAWS
Study objectivesDoes the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) have a superior efficacy in achieving manual ventilation (breathing) compared with the current recommended technique for children who are not breathing, when used by critical care and anaesthetic nurses?
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Oxford Research Ethics Committee B on 17/08/2005, reference number: 05/Q1605/104
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChildren undergoing ASA I or II surgery or an MRI scan
InterventionInsertion of a LMA airway versus oropharyngeal airway. Patients have both airways inserted, however the order of the insertion is randomised, immediately prior to inserting the airway, the nurse opens a sealed opaque envelope generated using a table of random numbers which states which airway should be inserted first.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureChest excursion
Secondary outcome measures1. Minute volume achieved by nurse and anaesthetist
2. Time to first breath
3. Mean inhaled and exhaled tidal volume
