About

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using a video laryngeal mask for airway management in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Full description

The investigators will compare the time required to secure the airway when inserting a video laryngeal mask (LMA) versus performing endotracheal intubation.

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
