Supraglottic airway devices have been increasingly used because of their several advantages. Previous studies showed that the small-sized i-gel provides effective ventilation for young pediatric patients; however, few studies have reported the use of AuraGain in these patients. Herein, we compared the clinical performance of AuraGain and i-gel in young pediatric patients aged between 6 months and 6 years old and weighing 5–20 kg, who were scheduled to undergo extremity surgery under general anesthesia. In total, 68 patients were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups: AuraGain group and i-gel group. The primary outcome was the requirement of additional airway maneuvers. We also analyzed insertion parameters, fiberoptic bronchoscopic view, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and peri-operative adverse effects. Compared with the AuraGain group, the i-gel group required more additional airway maneuvers during the placement of the device and maintenance of ventilation. The fiberoptic view was better in the AuraGain group than in the i-gel group. However, the oropharyngeal leak pressure was higher in the i-gel group. AuraGain might be a better choice over i-gel considering the requirement of additional airway maneuvers. However, when a higher oropharyngeal leak pressure is required, the i-gel is more beneficial than AuraGain.

We compared proseal, supreme, and i-gel supraglottic airway devices in terms of oropharyngeal leak pressures and airway morbidities in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. One hundred and five patients undergoing elective surgery were subjected to general anesthesia after which they were randomly distributed into three groups. Although the oropharyngeal leak pressure was lower in the i-gel group initially (mean ± standard deviation; 23.9 ± 2.4, 24.9 ± 2.9, and 20.9 ± 3.5, resp.), it was higher than the proseal group and supreme group at 30 min of surgery after the trendelenburg position (25.0 ± 2.3, 25.0 ± 1.9, and 28.3 ± 2.3, resp.) and at the 60 min of surgery (24.2 ± 2.1, 24.8 ± 2.2, and 29.5 ± 1.1, resp.). The time to apply the supraglottic airway devices was shorter in the i-gel group (12.2 (1.2), 12.9 (1.0), and 6.7 (1.2), resp.,P=0.001). There was no difference between the groups in terms of their fiber optic imaging levels. pH was measured at the anterior and posterior surfaces of the pharyngeal region after the supraglottic airway devices were removed; the lowest pH values were 5 in all groups. We concluded that initial oropharyngeal leak pressures obtained by i-gel were lower than proseal and supreme, but increased oropharyngeal leak pressures over time, ease of placement, and lower airway morbidity are favorable for i-gel.

The Ambu®AuraGain™ laryngeal mask (LM) (Ambu A/S, Ballerup, Denmark) is one of the few readily available second-generation supraglottic airway devices (SADs) that offer a conduit for fibreoptic-guided endotracheal intubation. We aimed to compare fibreoptic intubation through this device with the LMA® (laryngeal mask airway) Fastrach™ (Teleflex Medical, Co. Westmeath, Ireland), which has been a recommended dedicated rescue device for the management of the unanticipated difficult airway. This randomised controlled trial compared a previously described fibreoptic score in 116 patients with no known airway pathology, who had asleep fibreoptic endotracheal intubation via either the AuraGain LM or the LMA Fastrach. Time, ease and success rate of SAD and endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion and complications were recorded. The AuraGain LM demonstrated better laryngeal alignment with 29 out of 59 patients in the AuraGain LM (AG) group having a Grade 4 view (only vocal cords visible), compared to 20 out of 54 patients in the LMA Fastrach (FT) group (P=0.003). It allowed significantly quicker and easier ETT intubation when used as a conduit. The AuraGain LM was also quicker to insert compared to the Fastrach LMA. Similar rates of minor complications, such as sore throat and dysphonia occurred in both groups. Our study indicates that when used in patients with complete muscle relaxation and no known airway pathology, the AuraGain LM achieves better laryngeal alignment and quicker, easier and more successful fibreoptic-guided ETT intubation than the Fastrach LMA.

ABSTRACT Introduction This prospective study compares the efficacy of two disposable supraglottic airway devices with separate gastric access and integral bite block, the inflatable cuff of the LMA SupremeTM against the noninflatable i-gelTM cuff in providing an adequate seal for laparoscopic surgery. Materials and methods Ninety women of ASA grade I and II undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy with Trendelenburg position were randomly allocated to receive either size 3 LMA Supreme or i-gel. Induction and maintenance protocols were similar and patients were not paralyzed. We compared the airway leak pressure, ease and time to insert the device and a 10 FG nasogastric tube through it, and to note complications if any. Results There was no difference in airway leak pressure between the two devices (24.4 ± 4.0 vs 23.6 ± 3.8 cm H2O, p > 0.05). Forty-one (91%) LMA Supremes and forty (88.8%) i-gels were successfully inserted on the first attempt, with similar ease, and comparable times (13.8 ± 4.9 sec for LMA Supreme vs 14.5 ± 6.7 sec for i-gel; p > 0.05). Gastric tube insertion was easier and achieved more quickly with LMA Supreme compared to i-gel (9.0 ± 3.1 sec vs 14.3 ± 7.5 sec, respectively; p < 0.01), but clinical significance of this finding is questionable. There was blood on removal of four LMA Supremes and three i-gel. Four patients in the LMA Supreme group and one patient in the i-gel group experience mild postoperative sore throat. Conclusion Both LMA Supreme and i-gel are equally effective ventilator devices for diagnostic gynecological laparoscopic procedures. How to cite this article Chattopadhyay S, Goswami S.

INTRODUCTION: Airway management in the elderly may be challenging. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) may be used to provide airway security. The aim of study was to compare the efficacy and safety of different SADs, LMA classic (c-LMA), proseal LMA (p-LMA) and i-gel in anaesthetised and non-paralysed elderly patients. METHODS: The study was approved by a local ethics committee. Eighty patients, aged older than 65 years, who were scheduled to undergo elective urological or orthopaedic surgery participated in the study. Each patient was randomly allocated into 1 of 3 groups: Group C: c-LMA (n = 26), Group P: p-LMA (n = 27) or Group I: i-gel (n = 27). The primary outcome was oropharyngeal sealing pressure (OSP). Secondary outcomes included the adequacy of positive pressure ventilation, ease of insertion, success rates, time to insertion, haemodynamic response and complications such as sore throat and dysphagia. RESULTS: There were no significant differences among the groups with respect to OSP (p=0.852), whereas there was a statistically significant difference between Group I and Group C in terms of leak volume and leak fraction ( p= 0.042 and p = 0.020, respectively ). Adverse events were similar among the groups (p > 0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In this study, although the leak volume and leak fraction were lower in i-gel inserted patients, it was shown that i-gel, c-LMA and p-LMA provided adequate airway in elderly patients who were not applied muscle relaxants and will be operated under general anesthesia.

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.
