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.
