Comparison for ease of insertion for laryngeal mask airway between trendelenburg and supine position for elective orthopaedic, surgical and gynecology surgery

The purpose of this study is to assess the ease of insertion of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) between supine and trendelenburg position in the elective Gynecology, Orthopedic and General surgery patient. We measured easiness of insertion, incidence of adverse respiratory complication and hemody...

The speed and ease of insertion and the number of attempts needed to successfully secure airway were recorded. The incidence of adverse respiratory complications like sore throat, presence of blood on LMA, laryngospasm, coughing, vomiting and desaturation was recorded. Hemodynamic changes such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at the different time interval were recorded.

There were no differences in incidence of adverse airway complication both in supine and trendelenburg position.
