About this trial
Evaluation of new supraglottic device SaCo VLMA for laparoscopic procedures under general anesthesia in comparison with other airway management methods including other supraglottic devices. The parameters noted will be: demographic data, time for placement of SGA counted from moment of grabbing device by operator to correct placement, subjective evaluation of ease of insertion of SGA in 5 step Borg scale, peak pressure, lung compliance, achieved tidal volume before creating pneumoperitoneum, after creating pneumoperitoneum, visualization of glottis on monitor of camera or fiberoptic scope.
