A Study To Compare two supraglottic devices for blind intubation

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: undergoing elective surgery

Registration Number: CTRI/2018/12/016682

Lead Sponsor: Department of anaesthesiology

Brief Summary: Airway management is crucial skill for clinical anaesthesiologist. Hence good practice and familiarity with variety of airway devices and techniques is essential. SGADs were introduced in clinical practice with intervention of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) by Dr. AIJ Brain in 1981. Ambu AuraGain is a 3rd third generation supraglottic airway device which may have intubation capability. Since there is only one study available in literature by Sethi et al comparing Ambu AuraGain and Air Q ILA for blind tracheal intubation so we plan to further evaluate these two devices for blind tracheal intubation using Parker Flex Tip tube.The study is a prospective randomised, single blinded, parallel group, single centre trial comparing the Air Q intubating laryngeal airway with Ambu AuraGain laryngeal mask for blind tracheal intubation using parker flex tip tube in 120 patients of ASA grade 1 or 2 undergoing elective surgical procedure under general anaesthesia at Pt B D Sharma PGIMS Rohtak. The primary outcome measure will be success rate of blind tracheal intubation
