Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Respiratory Aspiration of Gastric Content
Interventions
Device: I-gel LMA insertion
Device: AuraGain LMA insertion
Device: ETT insertion
Registration Number
NCT02925598
Lead Sponsor
Adiyaman University Research Hospital
Brief Summary

The standard procedure used for airway control in general anesthesia for LC (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is endotracheal intubation (EI). AuraGain and I-Gel are supraglottic airway devices (SADs) used for airway control for certain types of surgeries. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performances of new types of SADs with EI regarding their insertion times, durations, perioperative complications and effects on hemodynamic parameters and peak airway pressures (Paw) in LC as well.

Detailed Description

The standard procedure used for airway control in general anesthesia for LC (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is endotracheal intubation (EI). AuraGain and I-Gel are supraglottic airway devices (SADs) used for airway control for certain types of surgeries.Previous studies have investigated and/or compared the performance of ProSeal™ LMA (Intavent Orthofix, Maidenhead, UK) during LC. But the performances of I-Gel and AuraGain have not been studied well yet. The main aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performances of new types of SADs (i.e. AuraGain and I-Gel) with endotracheal intubation regarding their insertion times, ease of insertion and perioperative complications. The secondary aim was to observe their effects on hemodynamic parameters and peak airway pressures.

I-gel LMAI-gel LMA insertionI-gel LMA insertion: I-gel insertion was done in supine position and with a standard gel pillow with the patient's head on following anesthesia induction. The insertion was verified with the manual ventilation of the patient and EtCO2 waveform.
AuraGain LMAAuraGain LMA insertionAuraGain insertion:AuraGain LMA insertion was done in supine position and with a standard gel pillow with the patient's head on following anesthesia induction. The insertion was verified with the manual ventilation of the patient and EtCO2 waveform.
Endotracheal tube (ETT)ETT insertionEndotracheal tube insertion: Endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion was done in supine position and with a standard gel pillow with the patient's head on following anesthesia induction. The insertion was verified with the manual ventilation of the patient and EtCO2 waveform.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Airway related complicationsPerioperative

Airway related complications like bronchospasm,gastric regurgitation,smooth tissue damages were assessed

Insertion timePerioperative

It was assessed that how many secs it takes to insert the device

Attempts to insertionPerioperative

It was assessed that how many attempts needed to insert the device

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Heart Rate bpmPerioperative

Heart rates changes were evaluated preoperative and after device insertion and then in every 5 mins.

Systolic blood pressure mmHgPerioperative

Systolic blood pressure changes were evaluate preoperative,following device insertion then in every 5 mins.

Peak airway pressurePerioperative

During the surgery peak airway pressures were assessed following device insertion snd then in every 5 mins.

Diastolic blood pressure mmHgPerioperative

Diastolic blood pressures were evaluated preoperative,following device insertion then in every 5 mins.
