Abstract

Introduction: In airway management, comparison of laryngeal mask airway is a new concept. It avoids the hazards of tracheal intubation and at the same time has many advantages over the traditional face mask. Aims: The present study was performed to evaluate to laryngeal mask insertion using thiopental sodium and low dose atracurium is comparison with propofol. Materials and Methods: A total number of seventy (70) cases ASA I and ASA II Grade were considered in the study and patients were divided into two Groups. Thirty five (35) of them induced with thiopental sodium and low dose of atracurium and the other thirty five (35) patients were induced with propofol for comparison of insertion conditions of LMA. Results: Between the Groups, there was no statistical difference with respect to age, weight and sex. Jaw relaxation, insertion conditions are same in both Groups. But incidence of coughing gauging is more in Group I compared with Group II. Total score is good in group compared with Group I. All these parameters are statistically not significant. Conclusion: A significantly greater ease of insertion of the LMA was observed and significantly lesser time taken for insertion was observed in patients induced with propofol as compared to thiopental sodium and low dose atracurium.
