Abstract Background ProSeal (PLMA) and Supreme (SLMA) laryngeal mask airways are effective ventilator devices with distinctive designs that may require different anaesthetics for insertion. Sevoflurane induction provides acceptable conditions for laryngeal mask insertion, and remifentanil significantly decreases the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane required for that insertion. The study aimed to evaluate the optimal end-tidal (ET) sevoflurane concentration for successful insertion of PLMA versus SLMA in patients receiving a remifentanil infusion without a neuromuscular blocking agent. Methods Altogether, 45 patients ASA (American Society Anaesthesiologists) physical status I–II, aged 18–60 years were scheduled for elective ambulatory surgery. Exclusion criteria were a difficult airway, recent respiratory infection, reactive airway, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, gastric aspiration’s risk factors, pregnancy, and lactation. Patients were randomly allocated to receive the SLMA or the PLMA. Sevoflurane induction with co-administration of remifentanil was performed at an effect-site concentration of 4 ng mL− 1. ET50 was calculated with a modified Dixon’s up-and-down method (starting at 2.5% in steps of 0.5%). Predetermined sevoflurane concentration was kept constant during the 10 min before LMA insertion. Patient’s response to LMA insertion was classified as “movement” or “no movement”. Sevoflurane ET50 was determined as the midpoint concentration of all the independent pairs that manifested crossover from “movement” to “no movement”. Results The ET50 sevoflurane concentration co-administered with remifentanil required for PLMA insertion was 1.20 ± 0.41% (95% confidence interval 0.76 to 1.63%). For SLMA insertion, it was 0.55 ± 0.38% (95% confidence interval 0.14 to 0.95%) (p = 0.019). Conclusions The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration with co-administered remifentanil required to allow insertion of the SLMA was 54% lower than that needed for inserting the PLMA.

This study was conducted in the Department of Anesthesiology, Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi from 5 October 2011 to 5 April 2012 after approval of hospital ethics committee. Three hundred and eighteen patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected in the study by non-probability consecutive sampling after taking informed written consent. Patients between the ages of 20 to 40 years were included, belonging to ASA class I and II, requiring General Anesthesia with Laryngeal Mask Airway for different surgical procedures. They were divided into two equal groups by computer generated random numbers. Group A comprised of one hundred and fifty eight patients in whom intravenous propofol was given for induction of anesthesia and Laryngeal mask insertion. Group B comprised of one hundred and fifty eight patients in whom inhalational induction with sevoflurane was done for Laryngeal mask insertion. Conduct of anesthesia was maintained similar in both groups. Cough and gag reflexes were observed in both groups at the time of Laryngeal mask insertion. Drug under study was said to be effective, if it is associated with no cough and gag reflex during Laryngeal mask insertion. All the data was analyzed by SPSS version 15. It was observed that 6.3% patients of group A (propofol) had positive cough reflex as compare to 13.2%% patients of group B (sevoflurane). The difference was statistically significant (p=0.038). While the incidence of gag reflex in group A was 8.2% and group B was 14.5%. But the difference was not found to be statistically significant (p=0.077). Propofol is more effective than sevoflurane for smooth LMA insertion during elective surgeries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v5i1.12562

Background The authors compare three techniques for insertion of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway. Methods Two hundred forty healthy patients aged 18-80 yr were randomly allocated for ProSeal laryngeal mask airway insertion using the digital, introducer tool (IT), or gum elastic bougie (GEB)-guided techniques. The digital and IT techniques were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The GEB-guided technique involved priming the drain tube with the GEB, placing the GEB in the esophagus under direct vision, and inserting the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway using the digital technique with the GEB as a guide. Failed insertion was defined by any of the following criteria: (1) failed pharyngeal placement; (2) malposition (air leaks, negative tap test results, or failed gastric tube insertion if pharyngeal placement was successful); and (3) ineffective ventilation (maximum expired tidal volume < 8 ml/kg or end-tidal carbon dioxide > 45 mmHg if correctly positioned). Any visible or occult blood was noted. Sore throat, dysphonia, and dysphagia were assessed 18-24 h postoperatively. Results Insertion was more frequently successful with the GEB-guided technique at the first attempt (GEB, 100%; digital, 88%; IT, 84%; both P < 0.001), but success after three attempts was similar (GEB, 100%; digital, 99%; IT, 98%). The time taken to successful placement was similar among groups at the first attempt but was shorter for the GEB-technique after three attempts (GEB, 25 +/- 14 s; digital, 33 +/- 19 s; IT, 37 +/- 25 s; both: P < 0.003). There were no differences in the frequency of visible blood, but occult blood occurred less frequently with the GEB-guided technique (GEB, 12%; digital, 29%; IT, 31%; both: P < 0.02) but was similar among techniques if insertion was successful at the first attempt. There were no differences in postoperative airway morbidity. CONCLUSION The GEB-guided insertion technique is more frequently successful than the digital or IT techniques. The authors suggest that the GEB-guided technique may be a useful backup technique for when the digital and IT techniques fail.

Background Tracheal intubation frequently results in an increase in respiratory system resistance that can be reversed by inhaled bronchodilators. The authors hypothesized that insertion of a laryngeal mask airway would be less likely to result in reversible bronchoconstriction than would insertion of an endotracheal tube. Methods Fifty-two (45 men, 7 women) patients were randomized to receive a 7.5-mm (women) or 8-mm (men) endotracheal tube or a No. 4 (women) or No. 5 (men) laryngeal mask airway. Anesthesia was induced with 2 microg/kg fentanyl and 5 mg/kg thiopental, and airway placement was facilitated with 1 mg/kg succinylcholine. When a seal to more than 20 cm water was verified, respiratory system resistance was measured immediately after airway placement. Inhalation anesthesia was begun with isoflurane to achieve an end-tidal concentration of 1% for 10 min. Respiratory system resistance was measured again during identical conditions. Results Among patients receiving laryngeal mask airways, the initial respiratory system resistance was significantly less than among patients with endotracheal tubes (9.2+/-3.3 cm water x 1(-1) x s(-1) [mean +/- SD] compared with 13.4+/-9.6 cm water x 1(-1) x s(-1); P < 0.05). After 10 min of isoflurane, the resistance decreased to 8.6+/-3.6 cm water x 1(-1) x s(-1) in the endotracheal tube group but remained unchanged at 9.1+/-3.3 cm water x 1(-1) x s(-1) in the laryngeal mask airway group. The decrease in respiratory system resistance in the endotracheal tube group of 4.7+/-7 cm water x 1(-1) x s(-1) was highly significant compared with the lack of change in the laryngeal mask airway group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Resistance decreased rapidly only in patients with endotracheal tubes after they received isoflurane, a potent bronchodilator, suggesting that reversible bronchoconstriction was present in patients with endotracheal tubes but not in those with laryngeal mask airways. A laryngeal mask airway is a better choice of airway to minimize airway reaction.

Abstract Background In clinical practice, the laryngeal mask airway is an easy-to-use supraglottic airway device. However, the cis- atracurium dosage for laryngeal mask insertion is not standardised. We aimed to determine the optimal dose of cis- atracurium using a sequential method for successful laryngeal mask insertion. Method s : The cohort study protocol is registered at clinicaltrial.gov (NCT-03668262). Twenty-three patients undergoing elective urinary surgery were sequentially administered doses (μg· kg -1 ) of cis- atracurium as follows: 150, 100, 70, 50, 30, and 20. The main outcome was the response to laryngeal mask airway insertion: ≥16 points and <16 points indicated “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory” responses, respectively. The median effective dose was estimated using the mean of the seven crossovers from “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory” responses. The primary outcome was to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of cis- atracurium for laryngeal mask airway insertion. Result s : The median effective dose of cis- atracurium was 26.5 μg·kg -1 (95% CI 23.6-29.8) using the sequential method. The heart rate was decreased in the 50μg·kg -1 group compared to the 30μg·kg -1 group at timepoints T7, T8, and T10 ( P = 0.0482, P = 0.0460, and P = 0.0236, respectively), but no difference with 20 μg·kg -1 group. The systolic blood pressure was decreased in the 50 μg·kg -1 group compared to the 20 μg·kg -1 group at timepoints T2, T3, T4 ( P = 0.0159, P = 0.0233, and P = 0.0428, respectively). The train-of-four value was significantly lower in the 50 μg·kg -1 group than in the 30 μg·kg -1 group at timepoint T3( P = 0.0326). Conclusion s : The ED50 of cis- atracurium was 26.5 μg·kg -1 for laryngeal mask airway insertion.
