    Study ObjectiveTo compare two different types of oropharyngeal airway: the Guedel-type oral airway and the Cuffed Oropharyngeal Airway (COPA), with respect to the effectiveness of positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) through a face mask in patients with in-line stabilization of the head and neck.DesignProspective, randomized, crossover study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patients30 ASA physical status I and II patients undergoing elective surgery.InterventionsGeneral anesthesia was induced with propofol and muscle relaxation was produced with vecuronium. In a random sequence, no airway device, the Guedel-type airway, and the COPA were used in each patient while applying a face mask and lifting the jaw forward.Measurements And Main ResultsTidal volumes were measured during PPV in each option. The position of the distal tip of each airway was assessed using a fiberscope, and the resulting views were graded and compared. When the Guedel-type airway was used, tidal volumes (V(T)s; means +/- SD) were significantly greater (12.3 +/- 4.5 mL/kg) than those with no airway device (8.5 +/- 4.5 mL/kg) (p < 0.001). When the COPA was used, V(T)s (14.6 +/- 4.4 mL/kg) were significantly greater than those with the Guedel-type airway (p < 0.05). The grade of the fiberscopic view through the distal tip was significantly better with the COPA than with the Guedel-type airway (p < 0.05).ConclusionsAlthough clinical differences often appear trivial, the COPA is more effective on mask ventilation than the Guedel-type airway when used in patients with manual in-line stabilization.
