219A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF PROSEAL LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY UNDERGOING LAPROSCOPIC SURGERIESSupraglottic airway devices (SADs), such as ProSealTM laryngeal mask airway (PLMA), which create high oropharyngeal seal pressure and have the capability for gastric decompression have been used in laparoscopic procedures. i- gel is a new SAD which dividends these features with the PLMA. This study was calculated to associate ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway versus i-gel airway in patients experiencing laparoscopic surgeries. The present prospective, randomised study included sixty patients scheduled for abdominal laparoscopy under general anaesthesia with supraglottic airway device (i-gel/ PLMA). i-gel airway provides better oropharyngeal leak pressure compared to LMA ProSeal. Ease of gastric tube insertion is significantly better with LMA ProSeal compared to i-gel. Both the supraglottic airway devices provided stable haemodynamics and were comparable in terms of the numbers of efforts at supplement and were effective ventilatory devices for laparoscopic procedures. We aimed to compare the ease of supplement of airway, number of insertion attempts, ease of gastric tube insertion, oropharyngeal leak airway pressure, haemodynamic stability and post-operative difficulties following LMA insertion. The patients were randomly distributed to two groups- Group i-gel consisted of patients in whom i-gel was inserted and Group ProSeal consisted of patients in whom LMA ProSeal was inserted.vakatic@gmail.comResearch822018PLMA,ProSeal,Supraglottic airway devices,i-gel,laparoscopic procedure,LMAVakati Chakravathy,Prashanth A BAssociate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Melmaruvathur, Kancheepuram District Tamilnadu, India 603319, India.,Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, RVS Institute of Medical Sciences, RVS Nagar, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh 517127, India.
