Abstract Background Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices do not definitively protect the airway from regurgitation of gastric contents. Increased gastric pressure and long operation time are associated with development of complications such as aspiration pneumonia. The aim of this study was to compare intra-gastric pressure between second-generation SGA and endotracheal tube (ETT) devices during long-duration laparoscopic hepatectomy.Methods A total of 66 patients was randomly assigned to two groups; 33 patients each in the ETT and SGA groups. Intra-gastric pressure was continuously measured via a gastric drainage tube with a three-way stopcock connected to the pressure monitoring device. Normal saline was added to the end of the gastric drainage tube at each operation time point.Results Intra-gastric pressure during pneumoperitoneum was no different between the two groups (p = 0.146) or over time (p = 0.094). The mean (SD) pH of the SGA tip measured after operation was 6.7 (0.4), and a pH less than 4 was not observed. Relative risk of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the ETT group relative to the SGA group (sore throat, 5.5; cough,13.0).Conclusions Use of SGA devices does not further increase intra-gastric pressure, even during prolonged upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery. Also, the frequency of postoperative sore throat and cough was significantly lower when the second-generation SGA device was used.Clinical trial registration of Korea (https://cris.nih.go.kr/cris/index.jsp): KCT0003512 Principle investigator: G S K; date of registration February 15, 2019, https://cris.nih.go.kr/cris).

Objective: The aim of this was to compare the Baska® mask and the I-gel® airway in paralyzed patients during general anaesthesia in terms of clinical performance, the risk of aspiration, and intraoperative and postoperative characteristics. Material and Methods: The two devices were compared in 100 paralyzed anesthetized adult patients. Primary outcomes of the study were to evaluate the characteristics of the airway devices within respect to the success of first insertion attempt, the insertion time, the ease of insertion, leak volume, and peak airway pressure. The blood staining on the mask, and the presence of gastric reflux or sore throat two hours postoperatively were evaluated. Hemodynamics, end-tidal CO2 and the peripheral oxygen saturation measurements were secondary outcomes. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in the criteria of first attempt success rate, ease of insertion, blood staining upon removal of the masks, gastric regurgitation, or sore throat two hours after the procedure. The insertion time was significantly longer for the Baska® mask compared with the I-gel® airway. The leak volume was significantly higher in the Baska® mask patients throughout the surgical procedure. The heart rate and mean arterial pressure measurements were significantly higher in the Baska® mask patients. Conclusions: Both the Baska® mask and the I-gel ® device can be used effectively for selected paralyzed patients under general anaesthesia. The insertion time was significantly longer for the Baska® mask compared with the I-gel® device.

Background: Supreme laryngeal mask airway (SLMA) and I-gel airway devices are second generation supraglottic airway devices (SAD) and are good alternatives to intubation during surgeries. The study was conducted with the objective to compare two supraglottic airway devices for ease of insertion, number of attempts of insertion, hemodynamic changes, incidence of adverse effects like regurgitation, lip and dental trauma and post-operative sore throat, dysphagia or hoarseness.Methods: This study was conducted at Topiwala National Medical College and BYL Nair hospital, Mumbai. 80 patients of ASA class 1 and 2 with Mallampati grading 1 and 2, between age group of 18-60 years and with BMI <28kg/m2 were selected for the study. After induction of anesthesia for all the patients, one of SAD (SLMA or I-gel) was inserted randomly and accordingly they are divided into two groups consisting of 40 in each. Insertion parameters, hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were noted. Patients were also observed for any complications for 1 hour and 24 hours postoperatively.Results: Both groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, insertion parameters, hemodynamic and respiratory parameters and found no statistically significant differences between them (p>0.05). Postoperatively no significant complications were observed in terms of dental injury, laryngospasm. Complication like sore throat after 1 hour and after 24 hours was comparatively more in I-gel group but difference was not significant at 1 hr (p>0.05). Dysphagia was reported more in SLMA group (8 cases) than I-gel group (1 case) at one hour and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.013).Conclusions: SLMA and I-GEL are better airway management option for patients undergoing short surgical procedures under general anaesthesia.

Implication Statement: Despite the increasing popularity of video laryngoscopes, the supraglottic airway device (SAD) remains a critical airway rescue tool. The SAD provides a conduit for tracheal intubation in failed laryngoscopy. This article aims to help the operator: (1) select an intubating SAD with consistent performance; (2) inform the appropriate SAD-endotracheal tube pairings; and (3) explain various SAD and endotracheal tube maneuvers available to increase chances of successful intubation. Objectives: The first supraglottic airway device (SAD) was introduced more than thirty years ago. Since then, SADs have undergone multiple iterations and improvements. The SAD remains an airway rescue device for ventilation and an intubation conduit on difficult airway algorithms. Data Sources: Several SADs are specifically designed to facilitate tracheal intubation, i.e., “intubating SADs,” while most are “non-intubating SADs.” The two most commonly reported tracheal intubation methods via the SADs are the blind and visualized passage of the endotracheal tube (ETT) preloaded on a fiberoptic scope. Fiberoptic guided tracheal intubation (FOI) via an intubating SAD generally has higher success rates than blind intubations and is thus preferred. However, fiberscopes might not always be readily available, and anesthesiologists should be skilled to successfully intubate blindly through a SAD. Summery: This narrative review describes intubating SAD with consistent performance, appropriate SAD-ETT pairings, and various SAD and ETT maneuvers to increase successful intubation chances.

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.
