EcoAnaesthesia Facemask Versus Standard Facemask During Anesthesia Induction
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01103947
Purpose
This study will evaluate the efficiency of the EcoAnesthesia mask and its advantages over the
standard facemask used in our practice. The satisfaction by the anesthesia provider and its
ease of use may change the standard practice in airway management. In addition to these
additional effects on patient safety, the facemask is affordable and may reduce the
environmental burden of anesthesia waste.
