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.

Background: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are very useful airway adjunct in managing anticipated and unanticipated difficult airway and can be used as a ventilating aid and as a conduit for tracheal intubation. The new versions of SADs like i-gel and intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA), have advantage of hands-free airway maintenance without the need for tracheal intubation, they can be placed easily without direct visualization of the larynx, ensure predictable ventilation and can be used as conduit for tracheal intubation. Objective: To compare ease and success of placement of both SADs and ease and success of endotracheal (ET) intubation through both SADs. Method: Eighty patients of both sexes, aged between 18-60 years and belonging to ASA grade I and II undergoing surgical procedure under general anaesthesia (GA) were randomly divided into two group (i-gel and ILMA) of equal number. Following induction the allocated device was inserted and after confirming adequate ventilation, blind ET intubation was attempted through the device. First attempt and overall success rate of SAD insertion and ET intubation through SAD; time taken for SAD insertion and ET intubation through SAD; hemodynamic changes and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between groups. Result: Demographic profile, success rate of SAD insertion, haemodynamic changes and adverse effects were similar between groups (p>0.05).Overall time needed for successful SAD insertion was significantly shorter in group i-gel (22.52±5.64 sec) than group ILMA (31.15±5.52 sec) (p value <0.0001). Overall success rate of blind ET intubation was higher in group i-gel (75%) in comparison to group ILMA (65%). I-gel required significantly less time to achieve successful ET intubation than ILMA (26.30±11.35 sec vs. 33.53±13.13 sec)(p<0.0001). Conclusion: Both the SADs were proved to be useful alternative to conventional laryngoscope for ET intubation, although i-gel required lesser time and had better success rate of ET intubation as compared to ILMA.
