COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HEMODYNAMIC RESPONSE USING LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY (LMA) VERSUS ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE (ETT) IN CONTROLLED HYPERTENSION PATIENTS

In the practical conduct of Anaesthesia, Airway management is crucial to outcome & best patient care. A total n=114 patients,30-50 yrs with mean age 38.736± 4.36 years; 57 each group Laryngoscopy and ETT; LMA undergoing elective surgery 30 minutes 01-hour duration in controlled hypertensives were included study. The hemodynamic response was noted, recording pulse rate, Systolic BP, Diastolic MAP immediately after 1,3,5 minute laryngoscopy intubation or insertion. study results showed a 59.6% patients ETT compared 40.4% group. revealed attenuated insertion improved hemodynamic; stability intubation. advocate using supraglottic airway devices, especially merits, selected circumstances.
