TO COMPARE THE PLACEMENT AND EFFICACY OF I-GEL AND PROSEAL LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY IN ADULT PATIENTS UNDERGOING ELECTIVE SURGERIES

Abstract

Objectives : The present study was conducted to compare the placement and efcacy of two supraglottic airway devices, PLMA and I-gel in adult patients undergoing elective surgeries. 100 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia , ASA grade 1and 2, wereMethods : randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients each, Group I and Group P in which Igel and Proseal was used respectively. The devices were studied on the basis of number of attempts, insertion time, ease of insertion, quality of airway, bre optic grading, orogastric tube test, haemodynamic changes and postoperative complications, I-gel was better than Proseal in terms of number of attempts, insertion time,Results : ease of insertion. The quality of airway and placement of the device and orogastric tube were comparable in both per the groups.The haemodynamic changes during insertion and after removal of the device was also comparable. The study showed that Igel and ProsealConclusion: are comparable in term of placement, adequate ventilation and respiratory mechanics.Also I-gel is more easier to insert and with lesser complications. To compare the placement and efcacy of I- gel and Proseal laryngeal mask airway in adult patientsAims and Objectives: undergoing elective surgeries.
