A prospective study on the incidence of sore throat after use of laryngeal mask airway during general anesthesia

Background: In case of general anesthesia, airway maintenance along with least complications is the most important goal of team of anesthesiologists. In case of clinical practice, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) devices have superiority in managing supraglottic airway. Recently i-gel airway has been introduced as supraglottic airway equipment (disposable). Aim: To make comparison between laryngeal mask and I-gel with respect to postoperative complication of sore throat in case of patients who were given general anesthesia. Study design: Randomized trial Setting: Anesthesia Department Study duration: 6 after synopsis approval in total 6months of duration Methods: Candidates were divided randomly divided into two groups. In case of members of group A, patients were given i-gel where as members of group B, disposable LMA was given. General anesthesia was administered according to the standardized protocols. A day after operation, candidates were check post operatively for 24 hours, for sore throat and information was documented on Performa. Results: The candidates mean age was 44.23±15.11years in case of i-gel group members whereas 46.10±15.56 years in case of LMA group. In case of i-gel group, there were about twenty five males members and thirty five were females members . In case of LMA group members, there were about twenty six males and thirty four female members . In present case research, sore throat postoperatively was seen in case of 17(14.2%) cases, i.e. 4 (6.7%) in i-gel group while 13(21.7%) in case of LMA group. The significant difference was witnessed between members of both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thus i-gel is better than LMA for general anesthesia as it has fewer chances of side effects like postoperative sore throat.

Aim: To compare the frequency of complications of i-gel versus laryngeal mask airway supreme™ (LMA Supreme) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anesthesia, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Institute Karachi from 16th September 2019 to 15th March 2020. Methodology: One hundred and fifty four patients having gallstones ≤5 in numbers (size <2cm) on ultrasound for >6 months requiring cholecystectomy and planned for elective list under general anesthesia of age ranges from 25-55 years of both gender were included. Patients with known or predicted difficult airway, oropharyngeal pathology, cervical spine fracture, GERD and hiatus hernia were excluded. In group A, airway was secured with i-gel while in group B, airway was secured with laryngeal mask airway supreme™. In all patients, anesthesia was given by one consultant anesthetist (at least 3 years 0f post-fellowship experience). All patients were followed by the researcher in the first 24 hours for presence or absence of dysphagia and sore throat. Results: The mean age was 34.78±6.30 years in group A and 34.38±6.37 years in group B. Majority of the patients 119 (77.27%) were between 25 to 40 years of age. There were 54 (35.06%) males and 100 (64.94%) were females with male to female ratio of ratio of 1:2.9. The complications of i-gel vs laryngeal mask airway supreme™ were found to be as follows; dysphagia on 0.0% vs 6.49% (p-value = 0.023) and sore throat in 3.90% vs 20.78% (p=0.001). Conclusion: The frequency of dysphagia and sore throat is less after i-gel use in laparoscopic cholecystectomy as compared to laryngeal mask airway supreme™.

Abstract Background There are doubts among anesthesiologists on the use of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) in nasal surgeries because of concerns about the occurrence of blood leakages to the airway. We hypothesized that the use of LMA-Supreme (LMA-S) in nasal surgery is comparable with endotracheal tube (ETT) according to airway protection against blood leakage through the fiberoptic bronchoscopy, oropharyngeal leakage pressure (OLP), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and postoperative adverse events. Methods The present study was conducted in a prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled manner on 80 patients, who underwent septoplasty procedures under general anesthesia, after dividing them randomly into two groups according to the device used (LMA-S or ETT). The presence of blood in the airway (glottis/trachea, distal trachea) was analyzed with the fiberoptic bronchoscope and a four-point scale. Both groups were evaluated for OLP; HR; MAP; postoperative sore throat, nausea, and vomiting; dysphagia; and dysphonia. Results In the fiberoptic evaluation of the airway postoperatively, less blood leakage was detected in both anatomic areas in the LMA-S group than in the ETT group (glottis/trachea, p = 0.004; distal trachea, p = 0.034). Sore throat was detected less frequently in the LMA-S group at a significant level in the 2nd, 6th, and 12th hours of postoperative period; however, other adverse events were similar in both groups. Hemodynamic parameters were not different between the two groups. Conclusion The present findings demonstrate that the LMA-S provided more effective airway protection than the ETT in preventing blood leakage in the septoplasty procedures. We believe that the LMA-S can be used safely and as an alternative to the ETT in septoplasty cases. Trial registration This trial is registered at the US National Institutes of Health (ClinicalTrials.gov) # NCT03903679 on April 5, 2019.
