LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY INSERTION USING PROPOFOL,THIOPENTONE WITH OR WITHOUT ATRACURIUM

Dr. Petla Rama Krishna, Dr. R. Konda Reddy

Abstract :

 Propofol obtunds airway reflexes and causes jaw relaxation also, though it was cost, pain on injection, not stored  once opened.  Methods – 120 patients were randomly allocated into four groups with premedication of fentanyl 2 μg/kg followed by saline and Propofol/  thiopentone in groups P and T and 0.1 mg/kg Atracurium with Propofol and thiopentone in groups Pa and Ta. LMA was inserted 2 minutes  later and insertion conditions provided by each group were assessed on a 3 point scale. Results – No significant difference between P and Ta groups in respect to jaw relaxation and adverse responses on LMA insertion. The number  of attempts required for successful placement of LMA and duration of apnea was also not significantly different. Group Pa comprises of best  conditions and no adverse responses than group T which had high incidence of failure of LMA insertion and not favorable conditions.  CONCLUSSIONS: by adding 0.1 mg /kg of Atracurium to thiopentone can significantly improve the LMA insertion, so thiopentone was used  as an alternative to propofol even in ASA grade 3 or 4 patients.
