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.
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.

Insertion time
It was assessed that how many secs it takes to insert the device
Time frame: Perioperative
Attempts to insertion
It was assessed that how many attempts needed to insert the device
Time frame: Perioperative
Airway related complications
Airway related complications like bronchospasm,gastric regurgitation,smooth tissue damages were assessed
Time frame: Perioperative

Heart rates changes were evaluated preoperative and after device insertion and then in every 5 mins.
Time frame: Perioperative
Systolic blood pressure mmHg
Systolic blood pressure changes were evaluate preoperative,following device insertion then in every 5 mins.
Time frame: Perioperative
Diastolic blood pressure mmHg
Diastolic blood pressures were evaluated preoperative,following device insertion then in every 5 mins.
Time frame: Perioperative
Peak airway pressure
During the surgery peak airway pressures were assessed following device insertion snd then in every 5 mins.
Time frame: Perioperative
