Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was planned to compare the gastric insufflation volume between i jel and ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its relationship with the oropharyngeal sealing pressure and the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing urological surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are widely used in both elective and emergency surgeries, resuscitation, and difficult airway management. Compared to endotracheal intubation, they are less invasive, require lower doses of anaesthetic agents, and cause less haemodynamic instability. Among supraglottic airway devices, the I-gel differs from other SADs in that it does not have an inflatable cuff; instead, it features a soft structure made of a transparent thermoplastic elastomer that mimics a cuff. In addition, it has a gastric channel alongside the airway tube that allows for gastric aspiration.

ProSeal LMA is one of the most commonly used SADs in clinical practice. It was developed in the early 2000s as a modification of the classic LMA and includes an inflatable cuff. Like the I-gel, it also features a gastric drainage channel for aspiration.

Aspiration pneumonia is a serious complication of anaesthesia, accounting for approximately 9% of all anaesthesia-related mortality. Traditionally, oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) provides information about the potential for gastric insufflation and thus the risk of gastric aspiration. Measurement of the gastric antral cross-sectional area (AGCA) by ultrasound allows for the estimation of gastric volume and helps assess the risk of aspiration.

This study was planned to compare the gastric insufflation volume between i jel and ProSeal LMA and its relationship with the oropharyngeal sealing pressure and the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing urological surgery.
