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. Methods : 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. Results : 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). Conclusions : The ED50 of cis- atracurium was 26.5 μg·kg -1 for laryngeal mask airway insertion.

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 and hypnotic median effective dose of cis- atracurium using a sequential method for successful laryngeal mask insertion when inducting general anaesthesia. Method s : The cohort study protocol is registered at clinicaltrial.gov (NCT-03358680). Twenty-three patients undergoing elective urinary surgery were sequentially administered doses (mg·kg -1 ) of cis- atracurium as follows: 0.15, 0.1, 0.07, 0.05, 0.03, and 0.02. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, bispectral index, and train-of-four were continuously monitored. Successful laryngeal mask insertion occurred without resistance to mouth opening, resistance to insertion, coughing, swallowing, laryngospasm/airway obstruction, and head and body movement. 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. Result s : The median effective dose of cis- atracurium was 0.0265 mg·kg -1 (95% CI 0.0236-0.0298) using the sequential method. The heart rate was decreased in the 0.05 group compared to the 0.03 group at timepoints T7, T8, and T10. The systolic blood pressure was decreased in the 0.02 group compared to the 0.05 group at timepoints T2, T3, T4. The train-of-four value was significantly lower in the 0.05 group than in the 0.03 group at timepoint T3. Conclusion s : cis- a tracurium was a good option for muscle relaxation in urinary surgery.

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: To facilitate tracheal intubation, intubating laryngeal mask airway(ILMA) was designed specifically. A relatively new supraglottic airway device, air-Q ILA is an alternative to ILMA to facilitate endotracheal intubation. Considering advantages of air-Q over ILMA are that the breathing tube of the device is shorter, wider and due to removable connector, a standard e Parker Flex Tip tracheal tube (product of Parker Medical Company) has a curved, centered, flexible and tapered distal tip that is designed to facilitate easy, rapid and non-traumatic intubation. It has double murphy eyes with an anterior curvature and a posterior opening bevel. It is designed so that the posterior bevel will decrease the incidence of the tube catching at the anterior or the lateral laryngeal structures during tracheal intubation.Subjects and Methods: This is a randomized, single-blind study. Total of 100 patients of either sex aged 18–60 years belonging to American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were included in the study and the patients with respiratory or pharyngeal pathology, mouth opening < 2.5 cm, body mass index ≥35 kg/m2, pregnancy and anticipated difficult airway were excluded from the study. The duration of the study was one year. The ethical clearance was taken from the institutional ethical committee. Written informed consent from all participants was obtained for participation in the study. Results: A total of 100 patients were allocated for the study. The insertion of the airway device was successful in all the patients of group 1. So, 50  patients were analysed for intubation in group 1. Air-Q ILA could not be inserted and resulted in failure in two cases. Hence, 48 patients were analysed statistically for intubation in group 2. The two groups were comparable with respect to age, weight and sex distribution. The mean age of patients in group 1 was 40.00 ± 10.76 years and in group 2 it was 40.56 ± 11.0 years (P = 0.651). There were 30 females and 20 males both in group 1 and group 2 (P = 1.000). The mean weight of patients in group 1 was 60.34 ± 8.06 kg and in group 2 was 60.10 ± 10.05 kg (P = 0.924). Conclusion:The  overall success rate using Parker Flex Tip tube was more with ILMA (99%) as compared to air-Q ILA (78%). It can be further suggested that Parker Flex Tip tube can be used as an alternative to silicone tube with ILMA, but more multicentre studies are required over larger populations to evaluate the utility of Parker Flex Tip tube with air-Q ILA.

BACKGROUND Present study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) supreme and I gel, the second generation supraglottic airway devices in laparoscopic surgeries. METHODS 120 patients with American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I and II (20 - 50 years) of either sex who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into three groups. Airway was secured with endotracheal tube (ETT) in group E (N = 40), with LMA supreme in Group S (N = 40) and with I-gel in group I (N = 40). Insertion characteristics of airway device, ease of gastric tube insertion, haemodynamic response and perioperative laryngopharyngeal morbidities were assessed. RESULTS I-gel was easier to insert with higher first attempt success rate (95 %) than LMA Supreme (85 %) and ETT (90 %) but it was statistically insignificant. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) was significantly higher in ETT group at the time of intubation, continued till 5 minutes and also at the time of extubation but statistically significant increase in HR and MAP were noted in group S and I only at the time of device insertion. Gastric tube was easier to insert in group S with shortest insertion time which was statistically significant. Incidence of coughing, dysphonia, dysphagia and sore throat was significantly more in group E. CONCLUSIONS I-gel and LMA Supreme can be used as an alternative to ETT for airway management in adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries.
