Abstract :

BACKGROUND: laryngeal mask airway has found to be a more effective ventilating device than the face mask and to cause less stimulation of protective reflexes and of the cardiovascular system than endotracheal tube. The purpose of this prospective study to assess LMA insertion conditions of Sevofluane (8%) in comparision with Propofol. METHODS: 60 patients were randomly allocated to Group S : Inhalation induction using 8.1 sevoflurane Group P : Intravenous induction with propofol 2 mg / kg RESULTS the induction with propofol is superior, the clinical conditions for LMA insertion obtained with inhalational induction 8% sevoflurane is satisfactory using loss of verbal contact as the end point. Hence induction with 8% sevoflurane may provide an alternative to IV propofol for the insertion of CMA in adults, if adequate jaw relaxation as the end point of induction
