Dr. H. Vijayalakshmi, Dr. C. Karpagavalli

Abstract :

 The laryngeal mask was designed primarily as a means of offering some of the advantages of endotracheal intubation while avoiding a fundamental disadvantage of visualization of the vocal cords and forcing them apart. AIM: compare I–gel and LMA in patients undergoing minor surgical procedures under total intravenous anesthesia. The time of insertion, Number of attempts, oxygen saturation, airway manipulation if needed, and assess the side effects if any were observed between   Group A Patients in whom I–gel was used Group B–Patients in whom LMA was used. RESULTS: the number of attempts required for insertion is equal for both LMA and I–gel groups. The insertion time is shorter in I–gel group when compared to LMA group The incidence of trauma and post–operative airway morbidity are similar in both I–gel and LMA group. CONCLUSION:  the insertion time of I–gel is shorter in comparison with LMA The success rate of insertion, incidence of trauma and postoperative airway morbidity oxygen saturation are similar in both I–gel and LMA group.
