Aim: To compare the efficacy of non-inflatable cuff supraglottic airways (I-gel and SLIPA) to inflatable cuff soft seal Laryngeal mask airway (SSLMA) in patients requiring general anesthesia and controlled ventilation during elective surgical procedures.
Patients and methods: An experimental study design was used, with comparison of three groups of patients using i-gel, SLIPA and SSLMA. Patients with risk of gastro esophageal reflux were excluded. Ease of insertion, quality of seal, effective ventilation, hemodynamic responses, side effects and surgical time were assessed. An Oropharyngeal sealing pressure or ‘leak’ test was performed with the airway devices to quantify the efficacy of the seal with the patient airway. Airway sealing pressure tests claimed to be excellent for clinical purposes.
