Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Endotracheal tube  In group B endotracheal tube will be placed after induction after direct vision laryngoscopy. In male 8.0 or 8.5 mm ID or in case of female 7.0 or 7.5mm ID PVC cuffed Endo-tracheal tube will be inserted. Bilateral air entry will be checked. 
Intervention  LMA Proseal   Patients will be allotted after written informed consent is given by them and they will be allotted in two groups: group A & group B according to sequential randomization method. Their age, sex, diagnosis, comorbidity, ASA classification will be collected prior surgery. Patients will be blinded to the group they are allotted. All patients will be kept nil per oral for at least 8 hours for solid food and 2 hours for clear liquid. They will be prescribed tablet alprazolam 0.25mg on the night prior to surgery as premedication. Prior to induction standard monitoring device will be attached to all the patients and baseline vitals will be recorded. Patients will be preoxygenated with 100% FiO2 to achieve end tidal oxygen of more than 90%. Patients will be induced with propofol (1-2mg/kg), fentanyl (2-3mcg/kg) and rocuronium (1-1.2mg/kg). Post induction arterial line will be placed for invasive blood pressure recording. In patients allotted in group A, Proseal LMA will be inserted with the help of introducer. Size of LMA will be decided according to patient’s weight and manufacture’s specification. After insertion of Proseal LMA the seal pressure will be gradually increased till an effective seal is achieved and the pressure will be recorded. The seal pressure will be monitored throughout surgery with the help of cuff pressure manometer. Position of the LMA will be confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscope. Bilateral air entry will be checked. After completion of surgery LMA will be removed after adequate reversal.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary Objective is to assess feasibility of LMA Proseal by means of ventilatory efficacy and pulmonary gas exchange in prolonged hepatobiliary surgery and to compare its efficacy with endotracheal tube.
Ventilatory efficacy will be evaluated by means of peak pressure, driving pressure, leak (discrepancy between inspiratory and expiratory tidal volume).
Pulmonary gas exchange will be evaluated as PaO2, PaCO2, ETCO2.

Brief Summary  

General anesthesia is considered essential for upper abdominal surgery and endotracheal intubation is conventionally used for it.

Since the introduction of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in 1980s (1) it has replaced endotracheal intubation in many circumstances for maintenance of airway in patients under general anesthesia.

LMA provides several advantages over ET tube by means of ease of insertion, reduced post-operative sore throat, dysphagia, tracheal trauma, vocal cord injury, improved hemodynamic stability during insertion and emergence from anesthesia(2) . However, there is concern regarding LMA not being a definitive airway. Theoretically there is possibility of inadequate ventilation, improper seal and most importantly pulmonary aspiration(3,4) .So, prolonged surgery, laparoscopic surgery are conventionally regarded as a relative contraindication for LMA use(5) .

However second generation LMA like Proseal LMA, provide better seal and with its gastric drainage channel provide improved safety for aspiration(6). Therefore, nowadays LMA has been used for even prolonged duration of surgery and some author have used it safely in surgeries lasting for as long as 5 to 11 hours (7).-          Although the safety and efficacy of second generation airway has been proven but for more prolonged use where surgery may last  for more than six hours conventionally endotracheal intubation is used and data regarding  such prolonged use of LMA is also limited.

So a pilot study is to be conducted to assess the efficacy of Proseal LMA in patient undergoing prolonged hepatobiliary surgery and compare it with patients in whom endotracheal tube is used for general anesthesia.

Based on the results further RCTs can be performed in patients undergoing   prolonged abdominal surgery.
