Background: Maintenance of proper airway is one of the most critical duties of an anesthetist during surgical and operative procedures. Facemask and endotracheal tube are traditionally used for airway delivery and maintenance. Supraglottic airway devices(SAD) became a normal fixture in managing airway. I-gel is novel supraglottic device, which is thermoelastic, single use, disposable material. This study compares the Supraglottic Airway Devices I-gel & Laryngeal Mask Airway Proseal in clinical performance in short surgical procedures under general anaesthesia.
Methodology: This Prospective observational comparative study will be conducted at Dept. of Anesthesia, AVBRH, Wardha. 60 patients will be enrolled and randomized in two groups. In Group I, I-gel will be used whereas in Group P, Proseal LMA will be used for spontaneous ventilation during short General anaesthesia procedures. Data will be compiled and statistical analysis will be done by using appropriate statistical tests.
Expected Results: I-gel can be expected to be superior in terms of attempts and duration needed for insertion, hemodynamic stability, and post-operative complications compared to Proseal LMA.
Conclusion: I-gel proves to be superior to PLMA regarding insertion ease and other operational issues.
