Comparison of two airway devices named I-gel and Proseal LMA used to give anesthesia in children in different head and neck positions

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Undergoing lower limb,urological procedures.
Registration Number
CTRI/2015/09/006155
Lead Sponsor
PGIMERChandigarh
Brief Summary

We wish to compare the oropharangeal leak pressures, ventilatory parameters with Proseal LMA and I-gel  in different head and neck positions of neutral, maximum flexion and maximum extension  in anesthetised, paralysed children.

We would also compare ryle’s tube insertion and fiberoptic grading in these three head and neck positions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure of I gel with LMA Proseal in different head and neck positions i.e. neutral, maximum flexion, maximum extension.After 2 minutes of each position change namely after flexion,extension and neutral.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
•We will also compare ease of insertion, insertion attempts, manoeuvres required, failed attempt and the hemodynamic response to insertion of the device. The ventilation scoring, Fiberoptic grading and passage of gastric tube in neural, maximum flexion and maximum extension with both the study devices will also be comparedease of insertion, insertion attempts, manoeuvres required, failed attempt-Just after insertion of the device
