Abstract :

Backgrounds:–Suprglottic airway devices are unique as these provide good seal in hypopharynx hence very useful in difficult ventilation and difficult intubation scenario. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of I–gel and LMA–ProSeal during general anaesthesia after sevoflurane induction.Methods:– This study was carried out on 60 patients of ASA I&II between 25–60 years of age of either sex and weight in between 50–90 kg undergoing elective surgeries in supine position under general anaesthesia at S.V.B.P. Hospital under L.L.R.M. Medical College, Meerut,(U.P.) India.All patients were devided into two groups.Group A – The LMA –ProSeal supraglottic airway device was used(n=30 )Group B – I–gel supraglottic airway device was used ( n=30). Results:– The ease of insertion was more with I–gel (27/30, 90%) than the LMA–ProSeal (24/30, 80%).The airway sealing pressure (cm H2O ± S.D.) was higher with LMA–ProSeal (30.66±2.42) than with I–gel (24.66±2.36) which was statistically significant.Conclusion:– we concluded that I–gel has a potential advantage of effective seal pressure which was less as compared to LMA–Proseal, but is enough to prevent aspiration and maintain an effective ventilation and oxygenation.
