Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ambu AuraGain  AuraGain is a second generation single use supraglottic device promising high levels of safety and efficacy with higher oropharyngeal sealing pressure and better first attempt success rate when compared to ProSeal LMA. It will be used for procedures less than 2 hours. 
Comparator Agent  LMA Proseal  It is a second generation supraglottic device with an inbuilt gastric drainage tube to empty stomach contents and was designed to provide better airway protection and airway seal pressures. They provide a peri-laryngeal seal with inflatable cuff and are an effective alternative to intubation in certain set of patients. It will be used for procedures less than 2 hours.

To assess and compare the time taken for successful placement between Ambu AuraGain and ProSeal LMA in children.
 
Duration in Seconds 
To assess and compare the attempts taken for successful placement between Ambu AuraGain and ProSeal LMA in children.  1 to 3 
To assess and compare the ease of insertion of gastric tube between Ambu AuraGain and ProSeal LMA in children.
 
1- Easy, 2- difficult, 3- unable to pass 
To assess and compare the fibreoptic view of larynx between Ambu AuraGain and ProSeal LMA in children.  Brimacombe score: 1-vocal cords not seen, 2- vocal cords plus anterior epiglottis seen, 3- vocal cords plus posterior epiglottis seen, 4 – only vocal cords visible. 
To assess and compare the incidence of complications in postoperative period between Ambu AuraGain and ProSeal LMA in children.  Bleeding, laryngospasm, hoarseness, sore throat and cough.

Brief Summary  

Various types of supraglottic devices are used to maintain airway and provide adequate ventilation in children undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. They can be used both for spontaneous and controlled ventilation. The second generation supraglottic devices come with an inbuilt gastric drainage tube to empty stomach contents and were designed to provide better airway protection and airway seal pressures. They provide a peri-laryngeal seal with inflatable cuff and are an effective alternative to intubation in certain set of patients. ProSeal LMA is commonly used in patients but with repeated usage the device starts leaking and might not position itself in the right place. Ambu AuraGain is a second generation single use supraglottic device promising high levels of safety and efficacy with higher oropharyngeal sealing pressure and better first attempt success rate when compared to ProSeal LMA.

Ambu AuraGain is a newer single use second generation supraglottic airway device with a gastric conduit and is proposed to have a higher oropharyngeal sealing pressure compared to other laryngeal mask airways thus making it an effective ventilatory device in children undergoing minor surgical procedures. This study aims to compare the actual difference in the oropharyngeal seal pressures and the ease of insertion between ProSeal LMA and Ambu AuraGain.  


The study hypothesis is that Ambu AuraGain provides better oropharyngeal sealing pressure than ProSeal LMA in children under controlled ventilation.
