Successful insertion of the proseal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) requires much greater doses of propofol as compared to classic laryngeal mask (CLMA). Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl are equally effective adjuvants for CLMA insertion. We designed this study to compare the efficacy of these two drugs as sole adjuvant in PLMA insertion.
