ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND
Supraglottic airways (SGAs) are a group of airway devices that can be
inserted into the pharynx to allow ventilation, oxygenation, and administration of
anesthetic gases, without the need for endotracheal intubation. Supraglottic
devices commonly used in Pakistan by Anaesthetists include the ProSeal
Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA), I-Gel by Inter-surgical and a newly introduced
device, the I-Gel Plus. Different supraglottic devices have different
characteristics.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to compare the frequency correct
placement of device in I-gel plus versus I-Gel in male patients undergoing lower
abdominal surgery.

DURATION OF STUDY
Study period was 6 months after the approval of synopsis:
January 2018 to June 2018
STUDY DESIGN
Randomized Controlled Trial
METHODOLOGY
After taking approval from hospital ethical committee, and written
informed consent, patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were included. Before the
start of study 53 paper slips marked “I Gel Plus” and another 53 marked I-gel”
were placed in 106 plane unmarked envelopes and shuffled for randomization,
and labelled as group A for “I Gel Plus” and group B for “I-gel”. The supraglottic
airway devices having equal or greater than 50% glottises opening (i.e. Grade 1 or
2 on POGO score) on 1st attempt were taken as correct placement of the device.
