COMPARISON OF TWO SUPRAGLOTTIC AIRWAY DEVICES IN MAINTAINING AIRWAY FOR SHORT SURGERIES

Objective: To find the better supraglottic airway device in terms of advantages, and complications, short surgeries following anesthesia paralysis.
 Study Design: Quasi-experimental study
 Place Duration Study: Combined Military Hospital Okara Armed Forces Institute Urology, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from July 2018 to 2020.
 Methodology: Prospectively, 130 American Society Anesthesiologist (ASA) 1, 2, 3 patients, aged 15-60 years, scheduled for urology or gynecological procedure were randomly divided into Group LMA (Group L, n=65) i-gel group G, n=65). Laryngeal mask inserted respective groups after induction muscle paralysis. The parameters compared were: simplicity insertion, time taken insertion attempts, exchanged, complications rate each device. data thus obtained was analyzed with SPSS-16.
 Results: similar gender distribution 68 (52%) vs. 62(47%) surgery type 60 (urology 46.2%) gynecology 70 (53.8%). successful at first attempt (38.4% 40.7%) both devices. changed 3.07% patient’s 6.92% complication not substantially different either (i-gel 5.3% 6%). less (17.62 sec ± 6.41 vs.22.06 ±7.92) which statistically significant p≤0.05.
 Conclusion: are two devices maintaining airways indications emergency lifesaving routine surgical procedures but their use situations like difficult.......
