Havayolu Yönetiminde I-Gel ile Auragain Kullanımının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to compare the superiority of I-Gel and Auragain, the second-generation supraglottic airway devices (SGAD) with different cuff structures, in terms of speed and ease of placement, oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), resistance of gastric contents, and post-operative oropharyngeal pain. Materials and Methods: A total of 70 patients aged 18-65 years, with ASA scores I-II, who used I-Gel or Auragain to provide airways under general anesthesia were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as I-Gel and Auragain according to the type of SGAD used. Results: OLP, placement duration and Visual Analogue Score (VAS) were found to be statistically significantly higher in the Auragain group (p
