A Randomized Controlled Study to Compare Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway with Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway in Anaesthetized Paralyzed Children
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to compare Proseal Laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) and Classic Laryngeal mask airway (CLMA) in anaesthetized paralyzed children who were undergoing elective surgery. Methods: 100 ASA I-II children were included. They were randomly assigned to two groups. We assessed success rates as ease of insertion, oropharyngeal seal pressures (OSP), quality of initial airway, fibreoptic position, hemodynamic variables and frequency of mucosal trauma in either group. Results: The ease of insertion and the number of attempts at insertion were comparable in two groups while the OSP was significantly high in PLMA group (30.02 ± 3.21 cmHO) 2 than CLMA group (21.62 ± 2.49 cmHO) (p value 0.001). Quality of initial airway was also better in PLMA group. The 2 pharyngolaryngeal morbidity was comparable in two groups. Conclusion PLMA is a better alternative as compared to CLMA for positive pressure ventilation in anaesthetized paralyzed children.
