Evaluation of I-Gel and LMA-C Clinical Presentation in Anaesthetized Patients
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: Igel and LMAC are most commonly used supraglottic air way devices to secure the airway during general anaesthesia our main objectives were to compare the ease of insertion, duration of insertion and number of attempts of insertion between Igel group and LMAC group. Methodology: Prospective randomized study conducted in SVMCH & RC Puducherry, during the period Oct 2015 to Mar 2017. Total patients 120 were divided into two groups LMAC, n = 60 and Igel, n = 60 by randomized method. SPSS 23 Version software was applied for t test as mean±SD for continuous variables and chisquare test used for categorical variables. Results: Igel was more easily inserted then LMAC group (90%, 85%) respectively and was statistically nonsignificant (p>0.05). Duration of insertion was shorter in Igel group compared to LMAC group (9.7±1.02 Vs 17.2±1.99) respectively and statistically highly significant (p<0.001). First attempt success rate was (95% Vs 91.6%) between Igel and LMAC group. Number of insertion attempts between these groups were statistically non significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: Duration of insertion of highly shorter in Igel group. Ease of insertion and first attempt success rate makes and Igel a suitable alternative for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia.
