Abstract :

Background: Both i–gelTM(I–gel) and LMA SupremeTM (Supreme) are new ssupraglottic airway devices.1. This study was designed to investigate I–gel in comparison with LMA Supreme. Material and Methods: One hundred patients in the age group of 18 to 60 years with American Society of Anaesthesiologist physical status I or II undergoing elective east surgeries were randomly assigned to either I–gel group or Supreme group (50 patients in each group). After induction with propofol the supraglottic airway device was inserted2. We assessed the insertion success rate, insertion time, oropharyngeal leak pressure, number of airway manipulations required, haemodynamic parameters and postoperative complications. Results: The success rate of insertion was same in both the groups. The insertion time of the Supreme LMA was higher than that of I–gel. The oropharyngeal leak pressure in the Supreme group was higher than that in the I–gel group. There were no significant differences in complications. Conclusion: From our study we concluded that i–gel was a better alternative than LMA supreme.
